Firstly, I apologize for the quality of photos from my phone.
That being said... I've had these guys for a while now, and I have to admit at first I was a little leary to add them to my community tanks, as I had read some people have had less than desirable results.
But I fell in love with them at my local fish store, and decided to go for it. I'm glad I did, as they are some of the most rewarding fish I have raised thus far. They get along just fine with the harlequin rasboras, kuhli loaches, and bloodfin tetras that already lived in the tank. They get a little nippy from time to time during feeding, or when they spawn, but nothing terrible.
They have spawned a total of three times, but have yet to have any success. I'm patiently waiting for the day they do.
