Hello Greg

I had a pair of these guys about 5 years ago.   Truly a beautiful
fish... when in breeding colors.  Those pics of that bright yellow fish
with several lateral lines of dots is what you get when they want to
spawn... at most of the other times the color faded and the lateral
lines seemed to be not so dark black.   But dont get me wrong, it was a
gorgeous fish.   Never did get them to spawn for me... my fish were wild
caught specimens and i might not have giving them all they needed to get
them into spawning conditions.... they looked like they were going to
spawn several times but i never saw any eggs.... maybe they spawned and
promptly ate the eggs afterwards,  who knows.   But if you get the
chance to get some of them, do it!!!

John
