1 of 3 in my tank. I never can get good pictures of them. The tannins and the mirror on the back of the tank make photography difficult. I can't wait for these guys to get about 5" so I can start pairing them up. This is the largest at about 3.5" or 3.75".

Looks like a good one. Body shape and color look to be what you want as a juvenile. May I ask where he's from? Also is the photo with or without flash?

Richard I bought this guy and 2 others from my LFS. The photo was taken with flash, the water just has a of tannins in it from all of the drift wood.

sweet little one...will be great news when you get them to pair off.....btw, I love the tannins in the water. It makes for such a natural wild appearance. I was bummed when my driftwood stopped leaching in the angel & sev tanks.
