woooooooot!!!! thanks guys! do u know anything about them? im researching them now! thanks!

I don't know anything about them, I opened up my id book and it was on the first page lol. It says they get to 13cm, and prefer live foods. It also says they are fairly peaceful but prefer a dimly lit tank with rocks, plants, and driftwood. That's from the "Dr. Axelrods Atlas of Freshwater Aquarium Fish."
