Firstly the fish were not overly large but they did appear somewhat under coloured to my thinking. This is often the cae when fish are kept in denuded tanks eg: bare bottom. IF I had enough tank space to satisfy myself I would have given them a home just to see for myself.

If you want some triple reds I have some I want / need gone. You just need the tank.

take care

blue cacs? are they actually blue? I've seen orange and I've seen the reds, but blue...? A better description is needed thanks Hassles.

It is a closer to wild coloration. Have a look here:

hey,

i have actually ordered in some of the blue cacs at my work as i was also curious and was quite disappointed in their appearance, they sort of look like triple red crosses? they are quite nice but not blue at all.

i also got a pair of borellii in for myself and the male came in with a nasty injury on his side and died the next day, the female is perfect but now have my mind set on trifasciata and also don't was to order another male of them (bayfish) so...if anyone is interested in a nice lil female borellii she is at petstock braeside waiting for a new home lol oh and the "blue" cac's haha they are nice but not quite what they are meant to be lol i will try take my camera in tomoz and take a pic of them so you can see.
