LOL. You can get a slam-into-the-glass video. Those guys are just now learning the principle of glass walls. It's a new concept for them wild-caught darters

Nice. The head shape on these looks a little more bullet shaped than the Chalceus macrolepidotus. Cool fish ;)

Yeah, thanks. I'd been looking all over the place for C. erythrurus - for months :D

Like FRP said, they take regular flake food. But I soon realized that this would be too messy in my quarantine tank, and I've fed Hikari food sticks since. They love it.

Any agrression so far? Woke up this morning to found I lost one from a pack of 8 (7 new ones plus an old one).

The old one doesnt seem to fight at all with the new ones and appears the most healthy. There are two more with scarred mouths, but nothing major. I seperated them based on size/color and now it seems much more peaceful. Is it because these came from two different parts of a river ?
