Hey, Big John..we had 3" down here also..but it's gone now!! Unfortunately
yours will be with you until May 2002....sorry, couldn't resist!!
By the way, another 2 cents worth on the same subject.. We have other people
around here that cross bred them without difficulty..when I did it I also
had Nijsseni females in the same tank (30 GL) and he picked the Pandurini,
which back than I couldn't tell the difference but now (easily identifiable
by the missing black blotch on the caudal peduncle). I hope that it's
another variety because I do like the iridescent green on the body.
