These guys are so comical. They hop around the bottom, and live to eat ... lol. They are getting frozen cyclops, BBS and daphnia, plus live tubifex. Their tummies get so full, even in the pet store they had gorged themselves. I've cut back a little on the feeding. But they are still very hungry all the time. One sits on top of the hornwort half out of the water every morning waiting for feeding time. Scared me half to death the first couple of days. I thought it was a goner. Mine are not as colorful as the one in the picture. Perhaps all of mine are females or just young. They do keep uprooting my java ferns. I finally weighted them down. No ornaments in the tank to topple, so not to worry. I don't have a sand substrate, just my usual purple gravel. They are doing fine with that. I only moved the gold neon out of that tank. And so far so good with the water parameters. Ten days with no ammonia, nitrite or nitrate spikes. They grow to about 2.5 inches. Mine are just 1.5 inches right now. So I'll continue to monitor the tank. Thanks for the info, and for rescuing my orphan thread.

Let us know if you find some. They are worth the effort.
