Two new boys when I swore NO MORE!!!
But I just happen to have a cleared out 10G & divider, so I took it as a sign. ;-)
My stepdad grabbed these guys from these people's house he was painting (No he didn't steal
them, lol, but I wouldn't have blamed him). They were moving & he mentioned my love for them, they
handed em right over.

Both of their coloring is very muddled & pale right now from stress.
I can see one is a doubletail, fins in decent shape, he's more fiesty & wasn't afraid of the camera,
coloring on fins is clear & body is brownish/tan.
The other has fin damage & smaller, possibly a double veiltail....Hints of light blue
but mostly brownish now.

In the new home, #1 looked around then went right up to my face & danced around.
#2 was entranced by the red marbles & picked at the plants & stared at his tiki house.

Sorry pics are bad, wanted to get them in the new place quick & darkened lights.

What colors do you think they will start to show? It will be interesting to see what happens...

Glad you were able to take them in :)
I can't wait to see how their colors will brighten and change.

I'm happy you took them in :) They seem like they need some love and care, and I can't wait to see them in a while when they've gotten better hopefully! :)

Update :)

Ok here is the "brown" double tail....He's actually a smokey black color! with touches of torquiouse/spots
on his dorsal, and indigo striped body in the right light...Needs a name! Something dark and spooky...
The double veiltail guy is doing good too...He's turning purple red, but hard to photograph. :/

And yea Atteb, I'd say yours is a Double veiltail :) I hope mine get's his finnage back!

So "blackie" (temp name) is in a 3G now, and DBVT is in the 10G (which looks psychotic because the decorations don't match, lol)

Good thing you saved them! They're becoming gorgeous thanks to some TLC. How about the name Phantom for the MG?
