Very nice! You're going to like those bumblebees. They're really neat fish. Even my wife likes them. How do you know you have a female and male? They both looked female in the picture. :?

My dominant male turned black around 4". I think I have another male that's keeping the female colors too. I hope you've got a pair, the babies are really cool looking miniatures of mom.

At the lfs he was black and gorgeous! Since he was just put into the tank yesterday, he's faded. Today though, his color has come back somewhat. The other one, I assumed (probably incorrectly) was female because of her fins and faded coloration. She? has remained the same way today. Plus, in the tank at the lfs they seemed to have "paired up" so that's why I got the two. The rest of the tank seemed to be filled with dark males.
I don't know much about them, though, I admit. I just liked them because they were so pretty.
The reason why I buy most of the fish I do in the first place! :rofl:

Right now I have 6 tanks, with various inhabitants, all over the living room.
My husband is sooooo happy about it, as you can imagine! :shock:
I have to move the main tank to a metal stand because the piece of furniture it is currently on is sagging in the middle from the 600+ pounds of weight on it. It's just a matter of having enough filters and other stuff to do this. So far I'm into week 3 of the Wreck of the Living Room.

My parents came for dinner yesterday, and even my father (the old fish man) said, "It looks like a pet store in here!" :lol:

I added some other pics today, including the younger fish.

They make me laugh because they all hang out in the same area of the tank.
