Nice!! She is lookin top notch!!

obsession ~ Where did you get yours at? I got mine from Grey off of Aquabid. Its possible they are different variants, but I think its mostly due to the dark tank and their aggression towards each other. The female was flaring at the male in that picture if you didn't notice, so they were both on aggressive stance.

In the 300gal where I have my two males right now they aren't showing the dark band as much now. Lighter sand, lighter tank, more room/less aggression. Watch the video I put up here in the pike media lounge. You can see that they are much lighter now.
