Tom could not get them to breed so now it is my try at them. The male is about 7" and the female maybe 4". Pics to follow later. I put them in my 265 for the time being with my haps to see how they do in there.

I will take some tomorrow night! He was hiding until today. Now he is all over the front of the tank when I was feeding them.

Pics not too great. They kept taking off for the rocks when I tried to take their pics, plus reflections from other tank lighting.

Ed,

The pics aren't too shabby!! Again, my friend Lou Rovner has bred these beauties, so I'm sure he'd be more than glad to answer any questions you might have on them.

Tom, I don't know if it is a sign but both male and female removed all the sand from the bottom left front corner of the 265. Hopefully preparing to spawn.

Nice. They never did that in my puny 55g.
