Those are awesome! I had no idea they were such an active species.

Nice looking fish, ToRif It's a year after your post now (7-10). How are they doing? I just got a couple of them in myself about two weeks ago
They're about 9 cm. My cam's down right now...I'll see if I can get some pics in when the cam's up again. They were supposed to be a pair, but I'm thinking that I might have two males, bc they had to be separated .
I know they're supposed to be difficult to sex....any ideas?
How big are yours now, ToRif...a year later?
