[Merrilyn]

Still got all your fingers Nick ?? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just teasing mate. They are looking awsome. :wink:

[nicholas76]

heheh yep . These guys are actually passive.

the female strikes at the tank if you go near it but thats as far as it goes in terms of aggression.

ah yes they do like eating tetras. 30 rummy nose gone in 7 days lol

thanks guys,

Taksan just curiuos I noticed allot of the pictures on the net show these guys to have a bright red head. Is that a diffrent variety / colour enhancer or is the red head a sign of a mature old fish?

:shock: :shock: you get me hooked to them and now you're using them as feeders :lol:

[nicholas76]

LOL ,,,


couldnt catch them, and they have this amazing ability to recognise that the tank has rounded edges yet the nets arent so im afraid they made there own destiny.

fantastic fish though I look forward to having hundreds of them one day. Just maybe not in the same tank :lol: :lol: :lol:
