This is my new favorite species! Almost as large as the AGB but a lot more colorful. I was sent 2 males and 2 females 2 years ago. Unfortunately, 2 males and 1 female have passed away. I am down to just 1 remaining female. I had seen mating several times, but no eggs to be seen. Hopefully I will get some replacements soon!

I had the same thing happen to me lost my female and my male dont know why. 

 
I don't think most anyone has seen an AGB in so long they forget how monstrous the females often are. That species is certainly pretty though. I'd love to buy some babies if you could find a male.

 
I will see if I can get a photo of her with an AGB. Just depends on how cooperative they will be. 

I will certainly let you know if I get any babies. I should send you a pair since you will do probably do better breeding them.

 
I can see why that would be your favorite species! It could just as easily be mine haha. Breathtaking photos, thank you for sharing!
