Hi everyone

I just got this pair in and they are already showing breeding behavior. They are in a 125g tank right now, but I plan to upgrade them to a 180g in December. The male is around 16" long, and the female is 11-12". The female is almost gold in color. I know that the pics are not very good, but you can see their tank. I also caught the male in the act. LOL!!! The sand I bought from petsmart ( $25 a bag). They eat massivore pellets, and ghost shrimp as a treat. The guy I bought them from says that they will prob. spawn around every 4-5 weeks. They are a proven pair!! I paid $204 for them. Let me know what you think. The tank I am not done with yet.

I had to use 2 different cameras as my good camera battery died while I was taking pics.

Nice Jags! As soon as I get a bigger tank for my male I'm going to get him a girlfriend.
