I wish, but that tank's still cycling. I got a used filter cartridge, added some stones from an already established tank, and I added several shrimp pellets that are breaking down, but it's taking its sweet time.

No, figured I'd wait until it was sexable before choosing a name. I'll try to get some more pictures soon.

I've noticed these gold specks along the back that look like irridophores to me, but a melanoid shouldn't have irridophores right? Anybody know what's going on here?

They look shiny to me, but I don't know if they're actually reflective. I'll try to get a better look next time I have a chance.

Just came across the pic on the site today. What a beautiful animal. If the original poster is still on here, any chance of updated pics?

Ahh!! Same as the previous poster, got here late. That GFP Melanoid has successfully swayed me in wanting my babies to breed with one in a year! I want to see what this one looks like now!!
