These tiny guys sure do grow fast.

Thanks Precarious!

Yes, I figured it was ... as Tammy is hoping to breed these it will be good to know what I've got in case she needs replacements.

My Creo pair are mature and the female has begun calling, so time to attempt another coupling. The female Orchid wasn't the least bit aggressive toward the male while I had them together, hopefully these will be as easy.

p.s. The newest Idolo nymphs are L3 and I can't believe the amount of color they've retained from L2!

Expect Creo to be more aggressive.
