apart from the venom one of the more beautiful and gracile Asians in the hobby and for sure not common in the trade.
if you can get a small group, do so; they're a bit gregarious and they move around a lot more when you have a group
of course you need a fair sized tank to house a group; they can reach at least some 25-30 cm or so.
but this is a real beauty.

Pretty irresponsible to sell a fish that can give a really nasty sting, without warning the customer!

Hey,
if you have big enough tank there is no reason to back this fish to the shop
. How often do you touch your other fish with hands? And they are really, really great pets .
Regards.
