Thanks! I was trying the other day for 10 minutes to get some pics but it wasn't happening. I have been feeding them well and they have grown quite a bit so I wanted to post an update (at work now but will try again when I get home). These are my first Apistos and they are very fun to watch and...

There's actually a little bit of clear fin after the stripe (it's actually like a hazmat/neon orange in person). Just been in my tank a few days and they are coloring up nicely, I cant wait to see what they'll be like in a few months!
