No probs :)

When they are side by side they do look very similar apart from colour

even the wife reckons they are actually the same fish just coloured differently :roll:

It does seem to be the males of both species that interact the most.

sigh.....the brige to far at this time here. I am excited to read the accounts of these fish as these and Histi's are on the someday list for me. Wonderful specimens that apparently eat rather well :lol:

Thanks Tinman, I never thought I would be able to get these or the wild histies but when the chance cropped up I took it :)

Some times I think they eat a little to well :lol:
