here is a pic of the new rostratus, only got it late last month, seems very robust and eating well. It handles itself well with bigger tankmates, including a 7" D. kiwinge that tries to go after it. At what size do they normally color up if male?

Your best bet to get him jump started is put him in a pond/vat w/ some lady friends and I guarantee within 2-3 months he will be all jacked up with color. Below are a couple of males I have had. I have another 2 groups coming up and hopefully will be better than the original males. They get REALLY hot when they are breeding. To see them in person is another story as once you see one you are going to want one!! They get a blue irridescent sheen on there body with green tint.. If you get lucky enough and find a good strain of them they look extremely hot... I have attached a picture of my kiwinge to

Do you ship to other parts of Europe? If not, any ideas of anyone in England who might stock them (I know its a stretch, but worth a try! hehe!)
