    I am quite happy it is a JD because I have been trying to get a breeding pair for a long time but gave up because you don't find them here and when you go you pay out of your neck for them

    they're awesome looking fish i must say, like the patterns, makes me think of those african tribes, uhh, the jumpy people, cant remember the name now, anyway, that spotted pattern under the eyes reminds of them

    Jip Trying to keep it down to a little, so what I am going to do is get a bunch of tanks that are broken (I can get them for free) and fix them up because most of the time it is just one side that is broken so you use another broken tank to fix it. lol that is how my MTS started as well
