I dont know........the lemon fins just dont have enough color to me and remind me too much of carp I used to catch all the time as a kid.

Really?....the silver shine of the scales makes up for lack of colour IMO. Also, another part of the attraction for me is exactly the fact that they remind me of the fish I used to catch as a kid

Unfortunately mine tend to let themselves down by generally lumbering around the tank mindlessly, getting upset by my mere presence (for no apparent reason), and having a BIG effect on bioload

Most of the Lemon fins i've had in the past have been stress heads , banging around mindlessly ! BUT the three i have now seem quite panic free, they are in with my 6 Hampala Dispar and have to compete for the food more , mind you they still seem to get the lions share , speed merchants thats for sure .

Here;s my lemon-fin to change your opinion...

He's 16cm (6.4 inches), and eats like a mad thing. More agressive than my black shark, IMO
