The pics are not very good, but I just got 7 (was suppose to be 6 he sent an extra) today. They ended up being quite a bit smaller then I was expecting..but they are sooooo cute!

Awesome...they should color up a lot when they get comfortable in their new home!

Thanks Pauly!! I am going to keep trying to get a good pic, it is driving me nuts. The pics do them no justice, you can see the white line on the top of their fins already they are sooooo cute!

Something I found to photo faster moving fish like mbuna. When lights on be ready with the camera they hold more still when they are just getting used to the light. Good luck with them.

Nice looking fish, LG. I just saw some at a pet store today and I do like their look.

Itty bitty. So are they some of the insanely evil tiny ones or are these a bit more well behaved?

Bit more well behaved.

Don't underestimate the power of the dark side, saint!

Very nice, Lady G.

LOL, they are not "evil" just smaller then I was expecting, I thought they would be about the size of my Labs which are about 2-2.5"...this little buggers are only about an inch to a inch and half.

Thank you Wyomingite..I'm sooo happy, now I can't wait to be able to get my next set which will most likely be the Albino Socofi (not sure I spelled that right so I hope you know what I mean Rolling Eyes

). 2 sets down and 4 to go!!!!!

LMAO..the "dark" side are you refering to the FW?

Here are a couple shots with the flash, you can see them a touch better...

Just a suggestion but maybe you can try the macro function on your camera too. It usually looks like a little flower symbol if you have it. It may help clear up the pictures. They did come out better with the flash though.
