you can have both. Bleeding heart get a bit bigger. so your choice. I like the bleeding hearts. I do not have them as I have rummy nose instead. cheers jk :thumbup:

i think also it is a personal choice and also the look of your tank. Some people look at the background colour and see if fish match etc. My favourites are rummy nose, as I like the black and white striped tail and bright red head. I prefer bleading hearts over emperors, because i like the red in the center and on the fins. I have nothing against the emperors though, just a personal choice. cheers jk :thumbup:

ok, if the personal choice pends on the backround color (after reading up ,of course) I can see your point. I will be changing mine from jungle look to all black this week.

Did a dry run with the paint roller ,I am tall enough, 5' 9'', but not tall enough to get the entire back ...so had to order black backround from aq store.

the reds will look good, but still wonder why MM prefers the emporers?

thanks BB, appreciate,
Georgie
