This is exciting. Looks like Felicity will be arriving in the next two weeks or so. She will reside in my hot tub q-tank until the water warms up in the spring to about 73 degrees.

I am looking forward to seeing her in real life and getting my first measurement.

I chose her based on her pectoral fins and her body shape. I will be very surprised is the hi on her body stays so I felt she was sort of a "sleeper" and passed over due to these current perceived "flaws".

My very hard well water has been known to completely remove hi from beautiful fish in the past, but I understand it is great for bringing up the black. This will be a fun experiment to test what I have heard.
