I have a two uncommon brown ones, not sure if that is what you want though. Good luck, lots of people are taking about estheraes recently in this forum.

i have a brown female estherae too! ,(it came from a wildcaught and f1 breeding) i too have a nice strain of electric yellows , sorry , i still don't know if this brown female estherae is gonna throw orange female babies,..we'll see,..she's just a baby (about 2 years old and didn't hold well the last spawn),..hopefully as she gets older she'll fiqure it out. (she held for about only a few hours (i watched the spawning) and then she spat all her eggs out , and i had the "pleasure" of watching some of the other tank inhabitants eat the eggs, before she tried to "re-pick-them up" (she spat the eggs to shuffle them instead of keeping them in her mouth) she did this 2 or 3 times before the other fish became aware of a "free meal" i've heard of this problem, but have never experienced it personnally before,
minos reef is the type i'm wanting,..(red males EXTREMELY rare in the wild (more of a peach coloring actually),...) unless outcrossed to rxr's in captivity, then more common as the blue is recessive ,..but it's the "true" species i'm after,..(blue males ) if yer friend does have them,..cool! ,...hook me up
i now have limited quantities of the TRUE metriaclima estherae "minos reef" aka redXblue available soon,as well as some nice metriaclima zebra "chiofu bay" available now, NO HYBRIDS
