These fish are beautiful to boot, I'd go for it. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

I visited with him today, and wow are the nice. They are the maralambo species of bleekeri, and are wild caught, then imported to canada. He said he doesn't plan on getting rid of the breeding pair, so these fish will be available to me when im ready.

They don't look like much when there small but when they mature. He told me they behave someone like an oscar, but won't think twice about defending themselves.
