Yes! I had them in the late 80’s. They are stunners at maturity! The long red dorsal trailers, lipstick, sunrise anal fin and a whole lot more fish bling! 👌🏼

wow, stunning!!! 😍😍 I hope mine colors up like that... any tips?
Three are about 2-3” and one is +/- 4” I’ve had them about 8 weeks.
I feed them tetra color granules, Sera Discus red pellets, freeze-dried tubifex, frozen bloodworms, love black worms, freeze-dried small krill and they eat the veggie wafers I feed the plecos. They get fed once a day for 3 consecutive days, 1 day is, heavy but controlled, no waste. Next 2 days light to moderate feeding then they get a 24hour fast. I feel a fast is good for their liver and overall health. I rotate through the various foods at random.
The other part is I use a fluorescent T5 HO 54watt Coralife Colormax bulb. They are warmer and less harsh than LEDs.
Hope this helps
