yeah, i bought the last few. She may be getting some soon. She does have a rare Badis (Badis Siamensis) in quarantine now that I have my eye on. I currently have a 40b with three species of Badidae living in it.

Maybe the question should be: What's the obsession with any fish?

Sorry, just tossing out a softball, asking if someone would educate the 90% of folks on here (on a cichlid forum) who don't know what these things are all about.

Thanks a bunch for your help. Sorry to have asked a question on a forum. :rolleyes:

This species is small, perch-like, punky, spunky little fish. Big attitude, too. Males are exquisite! Good for small tanks. Planted tanks especially. I used to keep them back in the day...

Just misinterpreted the (tone of) question, that's all. I'm all about sharing what little I know. Thanks Rachel!

All good; just busting balls. :)

I'm considering tearing down and getting rid of the 6 gallon nano-reef on my desktop at work and going with something simpler. Prince's low-maintenance, low-tech soil planted tank is sorting of striking my fancy. Would a small group of these guys work long term in a standard 5 gallon tank?

OK, you got me:D
Yes, You can easily house 2-3 in there. They stay low to the subtrate though. I don't know if you want that. The fems are dull in color compared to males. They wil recognize their feeder, and stick to front of glass when you're withing sight, much like angelfish. And they are not jumpers, in case you don't hve a lid. I want these for a 48L planted High tech, with RCS and some dwarf african frogs. Let us know how that goes!

Plus for Badis Badis they have intriguing swimming patterns. Kind of reminds me of Apache helicopters on attack. Their colors can go from a light blue with red speckles to a Deep blue black color. The have finnage (I made that word up) that would rival some Betta species.

True, true. They spend time swimming noe down. Reminds me of a much larger fish I used to have, the banded leporinus. That fish was much meaner though!
