Here is Bud, he is the ruler of the tank. Had to take out some Julii cories because he wouldn't let them come out of the plants. The female is a lot harder to get a good pic of but she is the other picture on the Anubias.

I have had him for well over 8 months and never realized he has blue eyes until this picture. Was supposed to have his equal, in size anyway but she died at the LFS. :BIGweepy: His hopefully mate is only 3.25 inches long and although she flirts I don't know if she is sexually mature yet because they haven't even tired. Bud is only 5.25 inches long :shock:

Oh and lesson learned, don't put two females in the same tank unless you are barbaric because if I would have left them together they likely would have fought to the death.

The barbarians?:blueshake: I hate being quite barbaric.:blueshake:
By the way, your BN looks gorgeous.:love:

dprUsh83: :bluelaugh: :tongue: Want some neons? Change your oscars with them.:thumbsup: :brow: I'm going to stick with rummies for my heavily-planted tank plan.:crazy: Maybe quite sensitive but I still like their tight-shoaling activity. Even if I lost 13 last July, I will try to keep a new batch again. I'm trying to get my feet back again.:) I miss keeping rummies.:blueworry: They were such stunning fish which I unfortunately, lost after the temperature keep soaring.:blueworry:

Now let's not be crazy here...I have been proven wrong in that they're extremely cool, to my surprise. I can say without a doubt that they're not nearly as cool as oscars! :lol:
How dare you comment such a thing to the neons!:blink: Oscars are not nearly as cool as to what you are thinking.:wink2: They're just monsters.:tongue: And I don't like keeping monsters other than my cute green arowana.:love: :tease:

HMPH!
My O is certainly NOT a monster. More like a wet Labrador Retriever with a food addiction... :tease: :blueyay: :BIGgrin: :greenyay:
BTW, Rummynose Tetras ARE AWESOME. Neons, kinda tired of them since they are EVERYWHERE here...

I guess so.:thumbsup: I still like rummies even if they are worse than neons in terms of transportation issues.
