Especially for the rich coloring you got. I really haven't ever seen a Congo that red before. Borderline pink lol.

Gorgeous. I'm still in awe. Wonder if she would get even more reddish on a red-colored substrate, or have you tried that?

She was on a 75% black sand, 25% red gravel substrate.

Excellent. I'm still looking for another Congo as well. They are awfully hard to find. My first one was orange, and I'd prefer to get one near the same color. I've just kept up on checking aquabid and LFSs and hope an orange (or red) one will come along someday.

Nice looking congo PP! Do you have new pics now that she's bigger/fatter?
Lol bertie, they seem to be pretty hard to find right now, but they are up on aquabid once in a while. I'm keeping my eyes out for one and will let you know if I see one. There's an absolutely gorgeous 3" Fahaka on there right now.

I would love another fahaka also but if I add another 100+g tank I would have to live in the kitchen lol
