My how time flies.

Male a few months later

...he's excited!

female as she looks now

male

still growin too. They're both little PITA's but they're funny.
Lately they've been trying to get it on but the male can't get the female to follow him to his "love shack" so she'll beat on him a little bit before he gets mad and chases her away...and then tries all over again. ha!

They're really taking on some nice colors! *SUNSMILE*
Haha...the female is playing 'hard to get'! What a tease.

[straitjacket]

Thanks BV!

She totally is. They'll get around to it eventually. The male's getting too sexy to resist.

sorry, just whiping the drool off my keyboard

If my camera didn't just go bust I could throw on a mpeg of the male meticulously tending is rock and flaring and Chasing after the female. It's ridiculous how quickly they change colors!

I'm seriously obsessed with Viejas now (or Paratheraps, if you will). I have yet to find one that I don't love. I'm gonna be in big trouble when we eventually buy a house and I have room for all those massive tanks I'm planning!

Very nice little Bifas. Put me on the out-of-country shipping list when they finally make babies.

 

[straitjacket]

Ha!
That's marble cons and bifas now.
Should I put you on the list for some piebald midas after I find a nice F0 or F1 male PB for Pinky?

 

[SinisterKisses]

Lol nah. Don't like the piebalds at all But thanks for the thought

 

[straitjacket]

Wha whaaaa? I'd think you'd get some just to complete the collection. ha!

 

[SinisterKisses]

Lol no...I have my creamsicles, and I now have my barred...any leftover room is now for Viejas!

 

[straitjacket]

I hear ya!
I never thought I'd want a fene, much less a pink one, but some recent pictures I've seen around have me thinking otherwise. lol
Next Vieja on my list is V. regani. I have to pull together all my will to not snatch up that last one I've seen on aquabid for a while cause I want more than one and preferably from a local source but it's getting hard!
After that is V. breidohri.

 

[SinisterKisses]

Not sure which I wanna get next...maybe a male fene for Vixen, when I get a tank big enough. She's too pretty to be single all her life.
