    Hi Guys. I'm new to this forum xD

    I just bought 3 new guys for my 1.5ft tank today. I know what kind of diet / water / environment the fish needs. Problem is that I dont know the exact name of the species. Could you guys help me out here

    The pic is in the attachment.
    Its a 1.5cm fish with 4 vertical black stripes and blue glassy eyes. Really pretty.

    Thanks

    YES! Omg that's it!

    Thank you thank you thank you !!!!! XD

    The male was chaing the females just and it kept going beside them. Looked like they were courting.. I hope the fish isn't too hard to breed though.. Ha. Looks really nice.

    Thanks... Puzzle solved!
    Mod, if you see this, could you kindly close the thread? Thanks all!

    Thanks guys! The info really helped
    Read through most of it.
    Sigh... But it needs a species only tank to breed. I guess my endlers would eat the eggs otherwise. Ha. Problem of space in my room once again...

    They are known to jump out of the tank so you might want to have a tank cover or some floating plants on top to minimise the chances of that happening.

    Haha. Yep, I keep an acrylic fitted cover on everytime im not in the room. Cos there are endler's in the tank too, and they have a tendency of jumping and becoming crispies too ;D
