I  picked up a pair of these from Dave @ the big GSAS (Seattle Aquariumclub)  auction a month or so back...are yours from the same source  asDave's?  Just curious if you've noticed any color variation in  yourspawns, or if they all look more or less the same?
My male has  blue fins, purplish polka-dots, and a white belly-- but noneof the  pictures I've turned up of A. hera online look much like him atall...not  sure if that's a locale difference, or if there is just lots ofnatural  varience in their colors and  patterns....
Thanks,

Hi, How large are these fish you got? A. hera usually not over an inch and a  half. Does the female look like the pictures in books? Sincerely, Sandy
