buy it dude ill hook ya up

I am, tomm bro........I've decided to ditch my spotted goby (grumpy bastard) and get the fei feng...:D :headbang2
 
they are really neat fish....mine always ate a lot of algae and kept the glass real clean........i had him with pacus, arowana, and a jd.........the only problem i ever had with him is he always tried to eat the plastic plants i had in the tank........he always broke them in half and then into a bunch of little pieces.......that was kind of a pain........
 
you gotta swing by and see mine if you remember the algae in my 45 he has done a amazing job
 
:) I did actually drop a few shrimp pellets into the tank this afternoon (split up) along with the algae wafer split up.... that fish is awesome, i cant say enough good thing about it........he is a "non stop window licker"..........in a good way....:grinno: :headbang2 :D

p.s. he is cool w/ my big gold sev, but my 2.5'' heros s.p. rotkeil is being a little terrritorial.....i'd call it shadowboxing, but no actual biting!! I added a little seachem stress guard to help them :chillpill: , and it seems to be working.....:)
 
Congrats on the pickup.

I'd love to pickup a large group.
 
i love these fish, i had one up until about 2 months ago (6in.),has beauitul colors and shine, will eat all the algae in the tank, and they are pretty fast. mine lived with my jardi for over 6month with no aggro problems. however, mine was easily startled, bashed his head against the glass one to many times. when ever someone entered the room or turned on the light, eventually ruptured something in his head...RIP...still a wonderful fish.
 
Make sure you have all filter outlets covered aswell.

Mine tryed cleaning them once....it got stuck :(
 
They are great looking fish that can get along with about anything, grow slowly, and they keep yer tank clean, whats not to like about them. Ill have 1 in each of my tanks soon.
