I thought I only had one that survived, I had only seen one for months. I was really suprised to see both of them alive and well.

Can you see the one peeking aroung the wood? You can see him better in this pic. Sorry about the glare and dirty glass.

I love these guys, it's so fun to watch them fan the water in front of my powerhead or under a filter output. That's a nice female you have on the wood, she blends right in!
 
Nice.

I am thinking that the other one is a male because it has larger, red legs. When I got them the female only had half of the fins? on her tail. they have grown back in fully now. I am so happy with them.
 
cute pics, glad to hear they are doing well. are they in with fish? i have considered gettin some, but i wasnt sure if they did well with livebearers or not.

I have them with corys, brochis, neons, ember tetras, and mystery snails. I came home the other night and a brochis was laying on top of the male shrimp. It was so funny. Of course they moved when I got my camera. :(
