The photos show the first Eliza i acquired in 2006.
It was imported from Belgium... i love its slim
body shape very much. This fish is only 3.5cm long and is quite young; so,
it has a bright future :)

Peter, i agree with you that Elizas are fantastic!! hehee...

i am keeping so many pairs partially because i am collecting different
forms of this species, and partially because i am doing a lot of cross-breeding...
i am trying to get a kind of super-red eliza with truly shining blue body,
similar to the super-red tail Aggie's body. By the way, it is just for fun
and there is no pressure, I also do not intend to do any commercial thing... :)
