Nice Dots!  Do you plan on breeding the worthless things?
Always move forward. Never look back.

If you do it all they need is a 20 with a sponge.  They prefer little surface agitation so turn the air down for them.  They really adore floating plants for breeding under.

Do as I say, not as I did.  Feed most of their fry to your Angels.  The Dots have a multitude of kids and you can't give them away.  People just don't care for them huh  Perhaps I can see what's wonderful about them when normal people can't huh

(sorry I focused more on your worthless Dots than on your fancy Angels :()

Jon, I promised when I saw you at a swap recently that I'd post up my beauties (same breeding line I believe) I got from you and I'm finally getting to it!

I got these 5 guys back in October of 2014.  I then sold them in March of 2015, then I got them back this past January.  They are quite happy in their 90 gallon!  Here's a bunch of photos from the past several months....

Those are great shots...thank you for popping them up.....the sta Isabel crown combined with those bold stripes of both phenotypes is unmistakable...the round bodies...gorgeous...

I just noticed, the other day, while viewing the forum calendar ..that your birthday is coming up on Monday.....it's the same date as our oldest son, Michael....he'll be 43 yrs old...

Thanks all!  And yes my birthday is coming up.  Jon, your son has 7 years on me!

Here are a few more shots while I'm at it.  They spent the majority of their upbringing with discus and I have a few in there right now, not sure if I want to get back into them or not, we will see.  Their presence seems to bring out the stripes of the angels more:

I thought the stripes showing was indicative of stress.  At least that is the case with discus.  Is the opposite true for Angels?

Never had any spawns from these guys.  I actually prefer it that was as I want peace in the tank.  In the past I have had angels and discus spawning regularly, actually surprised these guys haven't.
