No probs :)

When they are side by side they do look very similar apart from colour

even the wife reckons they are actually the same fish just coloured differently :roll:

It does seem to be the males of both species that interact the most.

Thanks Tinman, I never thought I would be able to get these or the wild histies but when the chance cropped up I took it :)

Some times I think they eat a little to well :lol:

Hi Tinman , its a shame that some of these fish are so ellusive to you !
lets face it we need people like yourself , people with boundless enthusiasm , it helps us all in our quest for knowledge , though i dont doubt that they will show up eventually ! GOOD LUCK.
