    This is a nice pair. How did you manage to get it stable within a day and already showing it's form?

    I always like the metallic sheen on A.tri. Looks like it's a young male and breed-able female.

    Looks like a good combination so that the male doesn't get over aggressive towards the female. Thats something i like to have too smaller male but larger female.(Personal preference)

    A low pH will cause the male tri's dorsal to extend long and nice!

    Thanks for sharing DA!
    Cheers!

    This piece looks really good! Amazing colours and finnage! Still not a full grown so plenty of room for finnage to develop.

    Bro Andy..

    Did you set up a tank again for the pair? Or you are using a tank from either the Viejita or the Aga fire red tank?
