Very nice tank setup. I prefer the green severums, but these look nice here.

Yea it took me an hour and a half to decide between the golds greens and red spot. Of course i had to pick the most expensive ones.

About 3 1/2 to 4. We tried to pick 1 male and 2 females by fin shape and color but I know thats not a sure way. The one I think is male has the longer top fin with the red thread starting to develop and the other 2 have a more rounded fin.

Thank you, females are thicker bodied. Males have a longer thread on their fins and more vibrant in color.

A half way good shot of one of my heckelii. I need to invest in a real camera.
