I think so many of them are so pretty. I really love the high red ones, but like the other posters said, ask to see pictures of the parents. Babies are likely to take on the same colors of their parents (though that's not always true). If their parents are darker or more faded, chances are your red baby will fade as well. On the other side, if you have a brownish baby but its parents are brighter, chances are you will get a brighter one as it sheds. Personally, I think their patterns are just beautiful even if their colors are less impressive on some individuals.

Borneos are different as they tend to be more brownish and yellow, but there are some interesting morphs of them out there including the marble, which I think looks really, really cool. There are also some high yellow ones out there that look pretty amazing.

VPI has some impressive animals in their gallery and I suggest you check them out. They have pictures of the smaller "black bloods" as well. Dave and Tracy (owners) are just splendid to work with.

I am getting a pair of het for T+ albino bloods from VPI this summer For babies you can just keep them in 15qt tubs and upgrade as they grow. Adults need more floor space but VPI's site gives a lot of detailed information on their husbandry requirements.
