No i do not sorry its been a couple years sence i kept them, like i said in the first post they would spawn like rats i got tons of fry from them, so if you like to strip your fish have fun hehe, been there, also they do have the tendincy to dislocate there jaws, depending on how bad they do it you can help them by poping it back for them, and the bigger mine got the more they did it, they were skittish quite ofton.
