Lovely colours and long pectoral fins!

He really will love some (female) company, something I've only come to learn recently, a new batch are expected in at my favourite LFS within the next week. I was shocked to read about the two genetically different groups of ABF in Africa, who seperated 57 million years ago, plus they are able to breathe air!
