Stoked to finally find some, they haven't been available here for a while (not that I've seen anyway). Does anyone else here keep them? Any tips/suggestions? I am planning on putting them in my 80g with a group of Uaru a. to grow out, and will eventually shift them to my 630L tank once they get too big for the 80g. So, how fast do they grow?

Here's some pics

They're in a 190L 3' tank for now, until I get the 630L set up.

*edit* don't say anything about the algae, I've been busy trying to organise this new tank!! ;)
