Re: Nannacara sp "red"

Bob,
Thanks.  Pretty much confirmed my suspicion as they hold a fairly strong
resembalance to the picture of a female anomala in the Aqualog 2.  I'll try and
take some pictures of them sometime this week.  No matter what, they're a real
attractive fish, atleast in my eyes.  I'll also try and get a better description
of them as I'm not an accomplished photographer in the slightest.  Thanks again.
Steve
