im planning to let them go though. they look uninterested to me, plus they crowd my tank and poop a lot.

thanks man. :) oh, really? why is it soo? have u ever seen some sold in an lfs?
they are always scared of me. i dont know why. at first, they were in my oscar tank but when my oscar gets bigger, he started to chase them around. so, i transferred them to my planted tank with my midas fries in it. im in a limited tank space tht's why.

Those are very cool looking fish and I've never seen them available in my area. Put an ad up in the Buy and Sell, I'm sure they would sell.
