Tyron, I know when it growthup will be completely red in colour. (Seen a picture some where some how.) Now it is in transistion period the most ugly stage of its development. But looking at the bigger one that has not fully colour up. Its size scares me. If i put the Rachovii Nicuadala in they sure will take them as supper.

Tyron, can post some photo of their parents just in case they miss them?

Rachovii Nicuadala is only 1.5 cm in size but some is doing the mating dance already. There is two smaller rachovii already form a pair. Hmmmmm puppy love huh.

When ugly duck turn into swan.



This fish is fierce. Put it in a container and it will keep jumping. When he saw another male that he can't attack, he attack his wife instead.

Bad Bad boy.

I think his colour is still not completely out. This photo is taken with flash on.

Tyron, can post a photo of its father?
