Did you buy it from the guy that claimed to be selling premiums yesterday
:lol: That guy was a joke. I picked mine up for less than a quarter of what he was asking at a lfs. I'm currently drip acclimating thiem as I type.
I will get a couple of shots here in a bit.
Like I said, it was less than a quarter of the other guys asking price. Premium, I don't know what your talking about. These little beauties are Premium in my eyes. So, what makes them premium anyway?

You really didn't answer the question. And the other guy said he had premium.
And they do look good.
Oh I get it now, I think he wanted like $400.00.

Great buy!!! I am loving it!!!!!!!
Me too!!!:bounce2: However, I have noticed some very odd behavior. I have been watching the larger one, sho I assumed is the female, roll on her side and have the submissive, "seizure", to the much smaller one who I assumed was the male. Wierd, huh?

^^sounds weird if she is the female. Could be due to being in a new home.
Everything is back to normal today. She has been whipping him into shape all day.

well as for premium yes they are totally different, thats the reason why the others were $400.00 because premium snows have connecting white on their heads and rear end of the body,you got some very nice fish there but they would be semi snowflakes, not a bad thing but thats just how they are graded, now when they have fry and you raise them, there will be some snowflake grade As and so on even almost wyoming white type snowflakes, so keep your head up and as long as your happy well thats all that matters!!!
Thanks for the explanation on the Snowflake grade system. I really had no idea how it worked. I am very happy with my "Semi SnowFlakes". These two have some great personality and don't appear to be scared of me. They will come right up to the glass and dance around and come very close to my fingers as I feed them. They are truly an enjoyable pair of fish. I hope to some day raise their fry, just for fun.:beer:

Very cool! Could you suggest some books to read on breeding them? I would really like to have Joyce Wilkersons book but it is very expensive since she died. Do you have video or pictures of your whole system.
