Dwarf Rainbows?

[Jhncf]

Does anyone have any experience in keeping these fish? Thinking of getting a school of these for my tank with an angel (or pair of angels), are they nippy or difficult to keep?

They're not nippy and easy to keep. Lovely fish.

I have a few of these fish in my rainbow tank one of my my favourite fish I love these fish.

I tried them a few months ago & although they are lovely fish in my experience they didn't last very long. I had 6 of them (2male,4female) & over the course of a few weeks all but one died off. I then tried 4 from another fish shop & had the same problem. I've subsequently read a few posts on various forums were other people have had similar issues. Apparently the farm bred ones are a bit weak. If you could find a local breeder you'd probably get a better example of the species.
I'd happily have some more if I could source a local breeder as I think they're a nice alternative to similar sized fish.

I must of got lucky then. I got mine from my lfs I bought 10. 4 males 6 females that was 11 months ago I have not lost a single fish. So I got some from the same shop for a different tank and have not lost any of them either.
