Smile Moscows

Hi everyone. I m new here, kept LFS guppies till recently. I hope to hear your valuable opinions. I bought a pair of moscows from Straits at Seletar and when I got home, I notice that they look a lot like tuxedos. Both the male and female are dark at the posterior half. They also swim at a slight angle when they are at the bottom of the tank. Is this normal for moscows? Appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

Hi Chris. Thx for valuable info. I love ur MBs! Actually, I bought mine after seeing urs. I normally keep LFS quality "lace". Even though that day not many fish left to choose, I couldn't leave empty handed cos got poisoned liao. Since not pro I guess I'll have fun learning to 1st, maintain and then improve on it. Hope to learn more from u guys in days to come. Thx.
