This one -

He is incredibly difficult to photograph as he won't stay still, and looks darker than he is because of the lights. The tank is 2.5ft deep, and 4 x 39w T5 are not sufficient to penetrate right to the bottom. He is the best coloured FM I've ever seen in reality. Rather than the washed out varieties you normally see.

Is it definately a male? Looks more female to me.

The colour is truly amazing. I have never ever seen a firemouth that is basically black.

Well done to you, you have a truly amazing tanks with truly amazing fish!

 

[ChilliPepper]

Might be male, might be female. Not sure.

They aren't actually black, as I tried to explain, it is hard to capture the colours of this fish. He's a nasty piece of work and only comes to the top where the lights are best to feed or to dart at another fish.
