I like'em, particularly the first pic.
Too bad you didn't have a full body shot of the Ralph, that is a nice clear pic.
I'd watch out for the three's-a-crowd syndrome with your O's...
O's tend to be best kept either alone or in groups of 2, *, 4, 5, 6 & etc, three is omitted because too many keepers have the hard earned wisdom that two will tag-team the third when/if territorial/breeding aggression occurs.
In the confines of general aquaria that means life suddenly becomes very hard for the odd fish.

Yea, I gotta try to catch him during his 'midnite' strolls . BTW I hear ya on the 3 'O's. I actually had bought 4 hoping for a pair (or maybe 2) but about a week in, the 3 of them gave the 4th one hell. More than once I found it pinned in the corner so I took it back to the LFS. Still hoped for a pair out of three but I think not. They're like Moe, Larry & Curley. Moe slaps Curley or pokes Larry & vise/versa but thats about it for the last 22mo. 'RalphyBoy' just chills like that in the driftwood till after dark. They don't bother him & he don't bother them. I still keep an eye out but they've been together in a 29gl. / 55gl. & now this 110gl. since they were about 2/3". Hoping to go larger but alls well for now. Thanx again for the comeback!!
I just noticed your avatar --- now that's a kool coincidence I never really named them (except 4 the 'cat'). I just refer to them as Moe, Larry & Curley. (I guess they could just as easily be Michele, Linda & Cindy) :huh:
Thanx 4 the comeback.
Thanx guys, I appreciate the 'flowers'. NorthStar -- I never really thought about breeding them although I did think about trying to get a 'Spotted Raphael" in addition to the 'Striped'. I seen some beautys but I'm hesitant to 'rock the boat'. Everybodies kool right now & I'd like to keep it that way! Maybe if & when I go 'larger' I might chance it but for now, they're content so I'm content.
