I bought 3 about 4 months ago at 1.5" or so. I don't feed them but about 3 times a week, but i vary their diet pretty regularly, they have grown to about 3-3.25" long now.They live by themselves in a 30"x24"x 14" aquarium that holds about 40 gallons +/-. I really like the little guys/girls. The ph is FINALLY about 6.6 and steady , and the hardness is low as well thanks to peat, oak leaves, and rain water. This picture is about a month or so old and they were in a specimen container waiting to get moved into their own aquarium.They are actually quite a bit larger now that I've actually compared the photos to the actual fish. I really enjoy mine and they eat from my hand if I so desire. Good luck with your great looking fish. Enjoy!!! Thanks.
