Congrats! You got some lovely fish.

their time jumping and one of them, a male, spends some of his time nipping at the others (male and females).

If he doesn't stop and the other fish are showing signs of distress 
you will have to devise a plan quick. Try putting in an partition or 
something. If you can take some water out of the tank and put him 
with the water into a small flaoting beekers and float him in another 
tank. Wathc out! he may jump out.

The first of many, and the excitment will not fade. (Joe I'm still 
waiting for the box to arrive!!! I can't bare the anticpation!) See what 
I mean Paul.

> Oh, I've been referring to the "breeder" because I don't know proper list etiquette.  Am I allowed to use his name?

Only if it is good news. Complaints are best dealt with privately... I 
think everyone appreciates some advertisement.
 
Good luck!
