I saw those and was very, very tempted, but decided it's not a good time for me at the moment.

these fish are in my tanks at the moment. i saved the largest fish for somebody but for what ever reason he let me down. these fish are stunning to look at. they are eating on a good range of food from mushrooms, lobster eggs,algae wafers, flake,tetra prima, cucumber.

if any one has any question please ask.i may not be able to answer tho.lol

Be very careful with these. They need stupidly well oxygenated water, and despite feeding well, mine perished after a month.

The ones at the LFS lasted a bit longer in a big display tank, but these too died eventually.

Maybe in a dedicated species tank they would work, but not in any kind of community tank.
