Simply Gorgeous. IMO the nicest looking fish in the trade. I wan't one really bad but killed one years ago to starvation. If I can ever find one that will eat prepared foods I would love to have. You must have a lot of rock to keep it in its obvious good health.

I love these fish! I have a spotted in my tank that was very thin and puny when we got it. Wasn't sure if it would even make it. Now, it's fat and healthy and eats all the time.
Very nice pic! Thanks for posting it.
