I just really knew nothing about them. Liked the little picture I saw and picked one for for $8-9. They are supposed to be semi-aggressive, so I figured it would be a good fit for my 140 gallon tank.

My wife read somewhere that is the dots (when they are small) on the tail are connected and more of a stripe... lilkely to be a female. Mine are in no way connected.... male... pleeeeease.

Post by: Scubadiver on March 12, 2013, 12:58:08 AM: I am a member of the gcca i had a group of them and bred them.

It took quite some time for them to color up. One of the fish that took the longest time get any color but when they finally did they looked spectacular.

Really a hardy and tough fish but not to aggressive.
