Looks like S. insignis.

Look good. Might want to pick one though and get rid of the other

I know, I wish I knew that at the time of the purchase. I hope they'll be ok. They were sold as Semaprochidulis Insisguis and there were also some labled as semaprochidulis t.. something...

Yeah. I had 3 and 2 of them killed my favorite one so I got stuck with keeping the best one looks wise out of the bunch I was going to trade the other 2 in and keep the one with the great personality but I was too busy to get them up to the LFS and only ended up taking one back
The aggression wasn't too bad, but it would escalate during feeding time.

I hope that doesn't happen to me..... stupid lfs worker told me this''yeah they'' be fine their schooling fish in the wild.''

They do shoal in the wild but in very large numbers where the aggression is spread out. It's hard to do in aquaria because most people including MFK members don't have aquariums large enough.

So far so good. Both are eating flakes, and alage wafers.
