Default Christmas came early! Masked Swallowtails

My beautiful wife bought me these beautiful fish today at NAFB. We had been eyeballing the pair at dragon for a while but they ended up getting sick. We ended up finding this nicer, bigger pair today for a far better price. Still very pricey fish but ones that will hopefully become the centerpiece of our tank for years to come.

Acclimating them was unlike acclimating any other fish I can remember. They were almost jumping out of the 5 gallon bucket despite it just having a few inches of water in it. Even picking them up to place in my QT was difficult. They are strong healthy fish. Not sure if I will focus on getting them eating or start TTM first. Either way I hope they make it to my display just after Christmas.

The male is already cruising the tank. The female is currently hiding but she was the more active of the 2 at the store.
