I had a chance to take a few pictures and thought I would share them. I have 5 bluespotted in a 15 gallon planted tank.

Nice in-tank pics. I never did get good pictures of mine before I gave them away. When I get more tank space I will have to get more. You get those local to you?

Wow, stunning specimens you have there. Thanks for sharing. I have four myself but they aren't very colorful. I need to make some changes I think with lighting and gravel etc.

Thanks 
Drew, I got them locally, no more than a few miles from Alexandria, I usually get one or two from any of the tidal tribs that drain into the Potomac. I've even had a few inside the beltway
Arthur, I recently across some new lighting, it probably isn't something I would have normally gotten but the bulb is one of those dual white/actinic things which really seems to bring their color out.

Cool, there are a couple of places we go that have bunches of them but I've not sampled anywhere close to the beltway.
That actnic light helps a lot with that coloring.

Thanks again guys
As nice as the fish look under those new lights, the algae seems to like it just as much.
It slowly seems to be getting under control though.
