along with a few community fish (gouramis, mollies, neons)
cheers

I have had a L018 for around six months now and in that time he has grew 2 maybe 3 CM but is filling out and getting broader all the time :)

Thanks,Mark

Oh? so how big is he/she ??? you may have a mature fish which will not grow any bigger!
