thanx for all the positive feedback. my male was my favorite fish before i got the females and now i find myself sitting in from of my tank staring even more. i can't get enough of these guys. i think the females have gotten over the shock of the big male chasing them all over because they are both out in the open now instead hiding in the LR. they have found each other and hang out all the time now. here is a couple pics of the two of them.
