They were showing their best color since being here this morning, so I grabbed a few shots. Put the telephoto lens on so I wouldn't have to get too close and spook them. :lol2:
This fellow was showing ALL his stripes nicely at the store, but the middle ones are still paler than they were then. They're still not used to being here, I guess.

You can see in this shot that both sides are very evenly marked. Tail is clamped because he was getting away from me and the "Big Black Eye"

And here is his/her buddy.

So, those are the new Littles. I don't see anymore ich spots on the one that was showing them the other day (the one that's in the last photo). I guess the higher heat and the salt did it! Hooray! I'll treat a couple more days just to be sure, of course. They've been much happier and active today than they have since Saturday evening, when we got them here.
Oh, and sorry about the poo... that was the overnight mess they made for me, and I vacced the bottom immediately after snapping these shots! If I'd vacced first, they'd have gone all pale again and been hiding in the corner.
