nice group you have there

Nice Pete. I love those guys.

Any chance a small group would work in a 36" 46g tank?

And sort of off topic, but has Ken been around or is he busy with real life?

Thanks...Bill

Thanks guys

Bill - they should be fine for a while but will eventually outgrow a 3" tank. I'd suggest a 75g for a group of adults.

Ken manages a pet store now and works 12 hour days...plus >1 hour commute each way. So I guess he's busy with real life

Nice. I recently lost one of my smaller females to bloat. I'm not sure how or why she got it, but she was the only loss.

I think they're pretty sensitive to it. I had mine with some chanchitos and I think they were a bit too aggressive.

I have another group with Acaricthys heckelii and it's a good match (they're probably the dominant fish).

Thanks guys!

Sounds like these guys are sensitive to bloat...definitely something to pay attention to.

I'm curious to see how the lateral spot might change over time.
