Totally fabulous! These adult histies make my guys look even weirder now. Completely different body shape.

Thanks for all the great comments :D

I did notice some slight aggression at feeding times with the first 3 Emperors but now I have added another 3 this has disapeared completely. They are very good at rearranging tanks as well, since Friday the tank has looked different every morning :lol:

Note to Graeme - you NEED more Emperors :lol:
