[QUOTE="TarantulaHawk687, post: 220510, member: 39564"] I still like the looks of the Genic better, but the more I see of the LP the more I think it really ain't too bad. On the other forum I mention I use (I'd rather not bring it up TOO much since I know such discussions can lead to forum wars. Besides the point.) I stated in a comment that I think the L. parahybana kinda just looks like a giant G. porteri but truth is that's really not doing it justice. It has a dark brown, almost black sort of coloration. Not black as in G. pulchra black, but definitely darker than a G. porteri. Either an A. geniculata or an LP will likely be my first T, and if I can find a female Genic then I'll probably go w/ that. If, however, that in state vendor I referred to still has any 3" or so female specimens of L. parahybana up on his site by the time I intend to get one and I still can't find any female Genics for sale I think I'm gonna go for that instead. I think I'd prefer that over an unsexed sling A. geniculata. Regardless of whether an A. geniculata or an LP ends up being my first T, a GBB will likely be my second. They are all beautiful T's in their own right! :-) [/QUOTE]
