I would love to but they were the only pr I found. My
friend has a small group though and has been able to
breed them before.

Right now they are getting bbs, flake and Mike Reed's No
BS bits. They are taking everything! And they don't stop
eating iether. I have them mixed in with a group of
Simsonichthys sp. South Bahia CI99. They seem to get on
fine together. The mix seems nice as the South Bahia eat
the bits of food that fall to the substrate. The female
is a bit thin right now and I've trying to condition
her. The temp is 24oC right now. I will move them to a
warmer tank later when the female has put on weight.

Maybe one day...
Thanks for all the info
