    Hi wtc !, I bought some from Gan during the "Old FF days " they're now about 2.5" to 3" mature male and female, man ! they're really nice especially their " very long dorsal fin ! ". What I really like about these fellow is the way they shoot up to the surface for food during feeding time, I called it " feeding frenzy ". Try checking out QH if Gan is out of the way for u ! have fun ! cheers !

    Yes Simon there's differences, flame-back as it names theirs back would be in striking red colour when mature and they have diamond scales likes diamond tetra.
    I bought some BH that i thought Fb-bleeding heart.
    from clementi but it turn out to be a normal one. Well i might said it took me very long time to wait for this fish to come by... thx Mr Gan to import such nice fish.
    akoh , agreed they very active during feedig time.

    they are oso called one-lined pencilfish, though not as colorful as the dwarf pencilfish, but they are more effective against algae on the leaves
