Pics of Neet. He has the most unique trait I've ever seen...his lips are half black half pink right down the middle! Nature is strange.

Here's Tigger, one of Brutus' fry out of Xena. Look carefully and you see a faded pink recessive stripe pattern! Keeping an eye on this...
This is Dink, very petite. Looks like a mini Blackbeard but is actually one of sister Mica's babies. All in the family!
Spades, also out of Mica. Has a double dot on the gill plate.
This one is Tiny, out of Blackbeard/Xena, Very delicate looking, another petite one.
Ace maintains his rainbow coloring with no marbling. His tail has developed black streaks over time.
In Lazarus' tank you see Arrow here. These shots were taken in morning sunrise mode. Arrow is an interesting example of a late bloomer. He was extremely plain, solid pink with clear fins and one black fleck. Now he's blossomed into one of the quad colors! I find with the pinks 50% are stable pattern and 50% change as adults. You see the well growing octopus grass. The fish seem to leave it alone which is good (they love nesting in it though). I've given up on guppy grass...that's pretty much free salad for all.
Here's Flash, one of Pip and Mongo's oldest daughters. She's also one of the largest and very dominant. One of three females that will challenge and fight males. The other two are Pip and Speck. Her coloration is on the dark and muted side but in breeding dress her belly gets extremely red. All of her fry were donated months ago...except for Renegade Baby who escaped the purge and shares the tank. Flash and miracle fish Lazarus are a pair but haven't had any fry (which is fine by me). Others in the tank are Arrow and Matches, he of the red tail. Matches is the third wheel and is very persistent about Flash. Arrow is the odd one out being the only 'pink' in the tank. However, Arrow has gotten more aggressive with age and keeps things lively. They chase him, he chases everybody. Generally they all stay in their hides or nooks but skirmishes break out at times.
Flash (L) and Arrow (R) a bit of scuffling going on here. You see the octopus grass which is growing well.
Woo hoo, plants! More on the way...the swords are around 12 -13". I love this seller, everything is clean (no hitchhikers) and healthy.
