flavus

[Overawed]

Has anyone raised these from a fry? My LFS has some greyish pre-juvies. I have wanted some Flavus for awhile, but I am not sure of the color and cannot find anything online. Hoping someone knows what they are supposed to look like as fry. I am guessing greyish is right, because most frys are dull. Just want to be sure, as I have bought some duds from this store. :( I still love em regardless. :)

Looked-up flavus, beautiful as adults. I would be interesed to get some information on their behavior in a Malawi tank.
