Anyone know what this guy is? Bought him as a juvie last year. Tagged as an Orange Sunrise - which he's not.

Cheers everyone.

Thanks for the quick reply Scott - thought as much. I bought 2 other juvies (labelled as Orange Sunrise) at the same time as this one - don't look the same as the first one. These two have paired and are prolific spawners. But in the display tank the bubs don't stand a chance :(

Here is a pick of the other 2.

Hi Barry,
Mate nice looking pair, good luck with breeding them.
Have no idea what the first one is called though.

I've got a breeding tank just ready to go. All hell has broken loose in the display tank as they have just come back into their breeding 'frame of mind' :lol: They are busy making life difficult for the others in the tank - but hey, that's what they do.

I'll get them into the breeder in the next few days (work permitting) and keep you all updated.
