    Yep, I agree John, they were much easier than my Panduro's, I am
now raising 3 hatches of Inca's.  They ran me out of tanks quickly,
so I put the male and 4 females in the 75 planted display tank in
hopes they would quit spawning, now 3 out of the 4 females are
yellow, damn I hope they don't do it in the planted tank.  They sure
look good in there though.
