Update: Breeding Pair is now Trio

Well, I have closed deals on three large specimen now so, I will have a breeding trio. I have recently, May 27, closed the deal on a second 5" female G pulchra from a third source. the deal on the first female was set on May 18; the male was shortly before that. I worked with three different sources,  and managed to get all three G pulchra for less than the cost of two.  I should be getting all three at the end of the first week of June. Now I just have to wait for the male to mature and my breeding program will be off and running. Based on what I have learned so far, the male could take up to three years to mature; much faster then the 6 years I will have to wait for my young G pulchra to grow and mature.
I will attempt an unpacking video when they arrive, and post it; as well as a photo of the first female when she arrives.

Here is a shot of one of the females. She(008) arrived 8June2010
This species is enchanting.
