marc, check my other pics. the one on the left is about five inches now and hasnt lost any blue spangling on his fins and dorsal is bright red and isnt fading to black. the one on left i cant really tell yet. i would definately like to hear your feedback though.
I see in the other pictures the one on the left here is male. The other is female though. You'll enjoy this species, a large pair is truely a sight to behold.
Radiant!!
