Chris, i have 5 in total. smallest is 10cm and the largest is 14cm. thats tip of nose to tail.

There is a confirmed pair, 2 males and not sure about the other one.
I could be possibly chasing a female or 2.

Ben,

How's the fish settling in? Looks like they are not stress anymore as the orange colour is starting to show.

The discus are doing well.
