They were born in March and I have 10 that are all about 8" now, they never hide, always out in front of the tank together. They have allot of red and crazy amount of gold specks all over them. Allot of people told me not to do live plants because they shred them but they don’t touch them.
After seeing all these awesome tanks I moved the P's from a 72gal to a 125gal planted tank hopefully it works as good as the 72 did. They always seem to leave the swords alone but will pick on any of the long stringy plants (sorry not good at names of plants) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a_R5t7GP74
