Hi all,

I awoke this morning and had a box waiting for me at the door. Needless to say, 6 B. udomritthiruji specimens are now swimming happily in my aquarium. They are for sure a very striking fish, no wonder they go by Emperor as their common name.

Mike

pics, pics, we need pics!!

You're the 1st person I know of that has them here in the USA.

Excellent news Mike, they are stunning fish aren't they.

We need photo's

They are absolutely fantastic! They are not at all skittish and are extremely active in the first 3 hours I have had them. They are actively exploring the aquarium as I sit and type this post and have already been fed on frozen bloodworms. The Y. caudipunctata group or the lone Y. eos I have do not seem to be bothering the Emperors at all! Its interesting to note that the B. striata I have in there are trying to shoal with the B. udomritthiruji group. I will try to get photos up as soon as possible.

Mike

Yes, pics please! Also, where did you get them?

I got them from Frank at www.franksaquarium.com

I think he has some left as I got 6 of the 10 he ordered.

Mike

Hopefully photos will be available tonight!

Mike

I can't figure out how to upload my photos. Can anyone help?

Mike

Can't wait to see some photos!

Photobucketis the best IMO.

Lets try and see if these photos show up, not the best quality, but I was too excited to be patient for better ones:











Thanks for looking all!

Mike

Those are awsome. Wish i had the room.

Some more:







Mike

Is it me or do the skinnier ones look more yellow? Are those males you think?

Mike

PS - If so, I think I have 3 males and 3 females, so 3 pairs...if only they spawned!!

Mike
