the bars are still forming, but.....I think I will have 2 misbars, one naked, 5 normal....the stripes and black coloration increase daily, lately the black on 3 of the fish has really become pronaunced....yeah!!!!! .the maroons you gave me Aggman are doing fine...no spawns yet, but have shown good behavior....the female is the most aggressive fish I have....She does not like me in her tank at all...I either get tail-swatted or bit.....they are a good pair, thanks again....
