You are the man,are they a pair,do they sift for food much on the bottom?I havent seen them in this area for some time,last time I did see one it was going for about seventy dollars.

Oops I just noticed that you said that you had two pairs,any breeding yet?

They are wicked fish ...nowhere near the Earth eaters size, but for a Tanganyikan sand dweller it is one impressive fish.

The biggest I've seen is about six inches,their mouth is like a vacuum cleaner.
