I love them when they start to color! That is just awesome!

I Love that race of fene. I think your the only one (besides Rusty) with them. Do you have any adults?

[cavamart]

These are from Rusty through a store that carries his stock. I know they use to be on TUIC stocklist as well. Since they aren't there anymore I assume there are a few hobbyists with this strain. The Adult picture Rusty had for the species is very impressive. I pulled it off MFK if you search a little you should find it. I don't know the copyright laws enough to know if it's OK to post it here.

Yeah Ive seen Rustys photo. I grabbed the peten melanurus instead of the antiqua fenestratus last year. Wish I had gotten both! Id love to see how some have turned out.

I'll keep posting them here as they grow. When they first hit the store the whole batch looked like they had spent some time in a blender! Everytime I was in town I checked them out, still a mess. Finnally, months latter, five were left one male, two healthy females, and two runts. I figured maybe all the aggressive males sold and I might be lucky with a passive trio. We'll see.

Good luck with them. I will be sure to keep watching this thread.
