| Wanted to give an update, the two JD's are swimming side by side and they have picked out a cave to live in. My girlfriend said that she saw the female start to dig up the gravel inside the cave and move it out. Her color is amazing, along with the gold color she has a blue patch around her gills. I'll post some updated pics tomorrow. |

Well it is great they are pairing up already only the first week you have had her. I am sure they will get the hang of it before you know it.

| Yeah I chalked it up to this being my males first time.
On the bright side I was able to to a WC and use my new pH buffer. The buffer is Seachems Malawi/Victoria Buffer, it raises & maintains pH to 7.8- 8.4. I have very soft water and this seems to be doing the trick. Now if I can only find a local source for aragonite I'd be all set. |

| The malawi buffer works great....I used to use it. I might have a full bottle of it left if you want it I will ship it out to you no charge?!!!
