    Hi

    Yes we did receive these beauty's as well :rofl:

    The males are big enough to clearly show-off their blue body and red tails & noses:nuts:

    Call Mark for your stock as I do not think that any would be left after next weekend.

    Picture for those who do not know what they look like :)

    Expect to see an empty aquarium by end of next week at the momentum these guys go when customers see them :)

    OK, I bought 6 of these guys what - 2 days ago? And today... they're spawning! In the plants in the back of the tank! The male follows the female around, swimming below her, and she "glues" the eggs, seemingly one at a time, on the bottom of the leaves. I rescued one leaf with 4 eggs and I've put it in a DIY fry-saver floating in the tank. I doubt there's much chance of anything hatching or surviving, but here's hoping!

    The eggs... they have eyes!
    2 of them at least, the other 2 succumbed to fungus.
