Kirby the Color Changing Plec

[Arashi]

My Sailfin plec, Kirby, has now been through three color changes, and each time he changes, he looks more beautiful. I figured I'd post some pics of Kirby's color changes, and also use them to show just how much bigger Kirby has become. When I bought him a little over a month ago, he was about 4 1/2 inches...he is now almost 8. He has grown like a weed and has definitely shown his true colors! Hope you enjoy these!

Here is a pic of Kirby when I first brought him home.

Here he is after his first color change...growing a bit darker.

And here is Kirby today. He's got RED on him!

Here he is hiding out in his rock cave with one of his cory buds.

And here's a close up of his face. You can see the red on his fins in this one.

Kirby's so cute! What kind of cory is that near the rock cave? He's so beautiful! I want to get some of those little guys!

Thanks Sasha! The cory is a C. leucomelas. I have three of the little guys and they are just a joy to have in my tank.
