    Very nice Len. Might have to setup a breeding Program for them too. I love the yellow and the Spangling on the Females. Such extraordinary fish.

    Favorite Fish:: I really love the big boys, but I have a place in my heart for all fish. I guess my current favorite is my Chocolate (turning Orange) Oranda.
