    yes, most of them are still swimming 'sideways', or lying on the gravel. thus i spent around 30 minutes standing on that wooden stool and trying to pick the best I could see haha.

    Lost my initial 25 to ich, now just topped up 40 more. I love this tetra, very sociable and begs for food like cichlids!

    Just came back from C02 aqarium they are indeed selling at the special price for 10 of these cute fishes. Getting 10 of them too good to miss the deal.

    Illumnae thanks for the recommendation! Co2 aqarium is a nice place quite a number ofbuceps to choose from. The 2 owners are much more friendly then some other hk shops. Surprisingly also accepted some bargaining.....

    They are so greedy that when I just place my pincer in the water they will all gather there waiting.

    But since they are so greedy makes you wonder if they are tank bred rather then captive.

    Re: Tucanoichthys tucano

    JZX seems to be bringing them in after CNY. Worth a look to see how much they are selling. Tempting to change my other tanks resident from rasbaro to them.
