How big will they get, Ray? These look like they'd be great dithers. I might have to shoot you a message. ;-)

Awesome, these do look like they'd make great dither fish. Almost like an African version of silver dollars.

My thoughts exactly! I can't go purely African without giving up my goonch (which isn't gonna happen!), but I would like to keep my tank Old World. I was considering getting a school of SDs after my move, but I think I might like to try some of these. Of course though, SDs are like $8 a pop and I won't care if they get eaten. Decisions, decisions...
