    I just got 4pcs from biotope yesterday. U can get them from there. For this solid red, they do not have many left as of yesterday. However, if u want to get only a handful, I believe u are still able to get them.

    Thanks for the 'headsup' Hann, was passing my Colorful (aquarium store) and found 30 of these little fish. I purchased 20 . 10 left for anyone else interested.

    Looks like some kind of english grammar lessons are taking place in this thread.... [Ok, I'll be very careful with my own post then... ]

    Bought mine from Colourful also (but only 8 pieces left in the bag, so took all...) about few weeks back... Doing great now in my 1-feet cube shrimp tank... As for colours, have about 4 to 5 pieces with intense red coloration, while the rest pales in comparison... Heard from bro Torque6 that redder should be male & vice versa...

    Anyone had ever been successful in breeding these cute little fellas in their tanks do share some advices...

    Cheers!!

    Here you go, the tiny baby. Not sure if this tiny one is a brigittae, only time will tell.

    beetle. pale sometimes refers to poor water conditions. Male and female are differentiated by color+ black outline of fins for male.

    Breeding info can be found here.
