Had 3 batches of eggs from them but they've suddenly stopped breeding again. Guess they're just taking their time :)
I'll add fresher pictures when I can get some XD

Nice work.

Mines quite nice actually though. Got some nice red, blue and yellow on him. Just waiting for them to start breeding again.
