[fishcollector7000]

Hi ,

i have seen these guys and they are really cute, BUT my fish are VERY small.
Do they eat small fish?

When i say small i mean pygmy corydora/ zebra micro rasbora ???


Please let me know you suggestions and thoughts?

Also any information about this fish is welcome.

Thanks

They are a wonderful little cat. I used to keep a trio (until my sister turned of the filter, but thats a different story) in a small 5gal tank with some Stiphoon gobies. They are best fed on bloodworms and go crazy for them, emmiting little buzzing chirrups when they eat. They will be fine with the other tinies. They can be bred in really tiny caves with a ratio of one male to two females. The sezes are very easy to tell apart: males have a sexualy diamorphic anal fin; the males is shaped like a livebarers gonopodium or andropodium.
