For some reason my spam blocker had blocked this message.
I have 4 male white-tails and one female. The males spend much of their time
flaring for each other and chasing each other around. They get kind of
pearly looking with bluish white fins when excited and have a impressive set
of tubercles on their noses. Very nice looking but not as flashy as the
fiery-blacks.
