They are adult sizes now..... Altogether I got seven. The hobbyist that I took them from, had them from lesser then half inch size. Right now the 2 big males are around 8/10 inches..... The rest are around 4/6 inches.
Here's one of the females which has turned black very fast after the shipping.

Great photos! Are these the same group from the Madagascar Endangered Fishes Facebook page? If so, your updates are always interesting and I look forward to reading them ☺

Thanks LS2012. 'What the Fish' (https://www.facebook.com/pages/WHAT-the-FISH/446100755516606) is my personal fishy page on Facebook. I do time to time share my pics on the Madagascar Endangered Fishes Facebook page.
Here's one of the full tank shots with them swimming by....
Gorgeous fish and photography! Kudos to you!
Thanks LS2012.... Black fishes are difficult to shoot! Here's a grainy FTS shot tonight.
Nice fish! What size tank are they in and are they all getting along ok? Seeing yours makes me want to get another one.
Hi Jeaninel, I have 7 in a 4x1.5x1.5 tank. Not recommended at all! Mine works because the previous owner grew them up together from juvenile stage and there's a certain pecking order in the group, and they go by without harming each other. May be a bit of chasing by the bigger guys.
Ideally you should start with a group in a 6 footer.... Then may be keep just the pair that forms among the group.
