[...] This first specimen was collected nearly a month ago and shows very distinct markings. At just 2″, the tinkeri/flavocornatus and burgessi is readily apparent. This is a spectacular fish that I am very jealous that I do not own. I now have my own, please see here. [...]

I know what you mean by stress! Been there and done that. Good she came disease free. That would be the worst thing that could happen.

Thanks guys, she’s still doing well. Eating Mysis, Nori and even pellets. She’s quickly asserted herself and has no problems chasing the much larger Declivis!

I’ll have photos in a few days as she settles in and colors up.

Completely arbitrarily, and you’re right they do have names!

I find it funny that you have arbitrarily sexed both of your bflys. Next thing you’ll be giving them names!

That fish has potential. I was doubtful at first that it would be more like a burgess but hopefully this fish’s color will tend more towards tinker and flavocoronatus. Looking forward to in-tank shots.
