Lots of room for them to get lost in there. How big can they get?

After a week in my tank. They are doing well. They are almost never seen. They are so small and the tank is planted so heavy. They come out to feed and disappear. Back in to the plants.

almost like "field of dreams" huh...come out, play ball, and poof

hope you can find the fry should they breed :)

Mine happen to like a small area near the front of the tank so its been nice seeing them in the jungle LOL. I imagine when they get a bit bigger and upgrade they'll get lost a lot more

They look amazing! Loving those reds and such a unique appearance. So happy they found an amazing home, all the cool things GHAC brought in found great homes which is just awesome. I have a feeling we will start seeing some cool livebearers for newbies to try soon....

[troy tucker]

The males are both starting to get amazing color.
From what I have been reading. They may breed every 6 to 8 months. With a 55 to 60 day gestation and only bear 7 to 20 fry. At that rate. it wont be to soon.

[mnemenoi]

Yeah, I'm hoping for fry soon. Have a feeling it will probably be a bit longer, but keeping it positive. The fish were shipped quite sizable and usually most fish start breeding at 1/2 their adult size. With those numbers I think a few of us might see some fry before too long.
