I've got adults, males and females. Wouldn't recommend more than one male in a group.

Can bring to meeting. Asking only $7 a fish.

Care:

Wouldn't go with a tiny tank for a group. Even though they're only around 2" bc of aggression when fry are free swimming.

I keep 1 male to three females in a 55 gallon biotope with lots of cover. Longer is better than a tall tank.

pH 7.5, GH 8. Substrate is shiftable pool filter sand they like to nest in. Warm temps, 75-82 f.

Rocks, branches and dried leaves. Plants they're not eating are java moss, subwassatang, and Crypts. Anything else so far is game.

Need lots of plant matter in diet. Could do fast moving dithers, but they're not shy without.

I use two big sponge filters bc they're profilic breeders.
