heres them pics :)








and to answer absolute vodka... i got 5 originally... very skinny and one died 2 days after i got them
then once they had grown up enough to get their own tank i moved them and forgot to put lid on for first few nights after moving fish... they always explore and fly around the tank and i found 1 on the floor dried up one morning... so i have 3 left and a definite pair with possible extra male... but could be another girl yet hard to tell..

Great pic's Johnno. Sorry to hear about the 2 you lost. At least you have both sex there and with a little bit of luck and a bit of love you could have a lot more than just the 3. :)
