Folks.......I'm glad my memory was OK........I'm telling you folks......the female "Morado" is a site to behold. and like Zack said it comes from a nothing little female......I'm gonna look back at some of my old pics and see if I can find those 3-4 pics I took of her.......she makes it worth the pair......if you get a chance get some and just wait until they spawn. I know this sounds stupid but you guys just wait until you see it!
