Awesome Kylie i really hope u have a pair there, these fish are way too expensive at the lfs. I'd love to pair mine up, but my compressiceps is 4.5" and my calvus is 4" and anything close to their size costs soo much at the store.

Kylie, they are nice. I did a tank cleaning on my comps today. I get so nervous ever since I lost my calvus.
