Nice,thanks for sharing.Was this at C328 today?

**nicktc** · 15th Nov 2008, 02:13

Yes, I took the bag of 10 today.

Another 20pcs will be arriving at C328 on Saturday after I assurred auntie that these fishes are 'hot cakes', haha.

Altogether, 120pcs were brought in by QH.

**stormchild** · 16th Nov 2008, 15:58

Rarely seen. Hope they will grow into beauties.

**Savant** · 16th Nov 2008, 20:02

Interesting... I note that they are a formerly endangered species, any other characteristics that they have?

**CK Yeo** · 16th Nov 2008, 22:40

WA!!! They are finally here!!
Did someone finally managed to breed them?

**Savant** · 16th Nov 2008, 22:55

Even tho I don't know these fishes, I am tempted to join in the hype!!! Can anyone share more about these fishes, their care requirements?

**unsung** · 17th Nov 2008, 00:16

These are one of the fishes that excites hobbyists. Our friend Nick move very fast.

**nicktc** · 19th Nov 2008, 23:56

Have added 2 more pcs.

Here's all 12 of them in my 2x1.5 ft setup.

**illumnae** · 20th Nov 2008, 09:40

wow they're so tiny!

**luenny** · 20th Nov 2008, 15:27

Wow, nice setup!

**SCOPE** · 20th Nov 2008, 15:36

Nice fish....had not seen them for at least 2yrs+ after last buy from CF.
My impression is that these are not easy to keep as my last batch of 15pcs slowly died off after 4mths time. i guess they really need very clean water condition.

Nick, with a few more stones, you'd have recontructed their biotope...

Do do they tend to school together most of the time?

**nicktc** · 20th Nov 2008, 23:38

Yes, they are schooling fishes and will tend to move as a group.

**SCOPE** · 21st Nov 2008, 00:23

Are these slow grower? given only 2cm....how long will it take to reach max of 11~12cm?

**CK Yeo** · 21st Nov 2008, 10:32

Maybe I need more. I noticed one individual seems to be territorial. But this link shows it schooling (at least that's what the title says it is).

They are also not biting on the algae chips I dropped in. Are they more omnivore or carnivore?

**SCOPE** · 21st Nov 2008, 10:57

Bro, is this school belongs to you? wow...you brought the whole school...

**CK Yeo** · 21st Nov 2008, 11:25

No. It is found on youtube.
With so many, I must either strike toto or have a river to contain them all.
