AT LAST

A shot that does them a little bit of justice! Out of the very, very few documented reports of people keeping this fish in captivity, I've read that many of them eventually lose their astounding colouration.

Right now they are feeding solely on frozen mysis shrimp, which, admittedly, is not the most nutritious of foods. I'm going to start weaning them to eat smaller-sized pieces of food, or perhaps invest in a bottle of multi-vitamin to soak the frozen shrimp in.

Gee, the colours do look good in this photo! And chevron tang's hovering in the background too, hoping to be included in the portrait as well.
