Nice score.....
I would take that Red Dorsal Rainbow out.... he servers no purpose . and might cross breed with the greens or kill off the green males.....
not a good thought when you consider the $$$$ ......
Those photos really look good for fish that have only been in the tank for a short period of time.....
Nice...
Congrats
and good luck ....... They look so conditioned that they might surprise you with young soon...

Thanks Frank!

I'm watching the red dorsal closely. Aggression from him has dropped off considerably today.

Seems like he is getting along better with them now. He is still defending his corner but not 4 foot of the tank.

I'll remove him if aggression gets too wild.

Regarding cross breeding, sp. macrognathus raindow is really closer related to polyodon, IMHO. The month structure on the macro has resulted in their own official class. The macro rainbow however does not have it's own class. I would be more worried about crossing a macro rainbow with a polyoden more so than with a macro green. However, I couldn't say 100% either way. I do appreciate the experienced observation and will keep a close eye on them.

I think you read this already but I'll post it here for others. Again, thanks!
