Kalimantan Samurai, the Sphaerichthys vaillanti

One of my favourite fish ever! Got them few months back and finally, they grew up and colored up just like what i saw online! Simply amazing and unbelievable at first. I've left with 7 pcs out of 10pcs, with 2 confirmed pair right now, and some misc unknown :S

They've been courting since last week but no results in brooding yet :( Hope for the best!
Here's some photos:

The magnificient female Samurai! Look at the coloration!

And here's the male, with his breeding dance, showing how big his mouth can be to brood eggs.

Wish me luck in breeding this amazing labyrinth! :P
