Bought these two along with some African Arowanas a few days back. The two are currently in a 2ft grow-out tank. Massive eaters, especially for their tender age. The amount of food they eat is astonishing! They're 3" each. Here they are, the little rascals.

Are they hard to find over there? I guess i can count myself extremely lucky being born here where we can get just about any fish.
 
very nice, they are very common here in South East Asia, and they are usually very very greedy. You might notice later as they grow, they'd start develop green colors on their fins, and on their body. Had photos of them in my thread somewhere.

they're easy to find online and in florida and SoCal and places like that, but north carolina is just kinda limited in LFS's, though i did just place an order with one of the stores and they said they'd try to find out if they can get em so here's to hoping
 
lol, you take better pictures than me :p
