I know their blurry photos but it's the best I could do
Look how many though!
They are all very tame now and only come up to the glass when I'm there. Cause they know I mean food

I FINALLY got a semi good photo!

You wouldn't believe how long it took me to get these photos...
There has been minor aggression showing in the sense that some of them are chasing and flaring. I know they are pretty young still but I think I can pick out a few of the males and females. They show it in how they move and the way their fins flow.

HAHA! REALLY GOT EM NOW!
I was able to put my finger on the glass so the camera would focus on what was RIGHT THERE and then I just cropped out my finger lol

That's what I am planning on doing!
Still unsure if I'm brave enough to ship but I will definitely post on Craigslist or something

Shipping fish isn't the ominous task it may seem like...lots of tutorials out there showing the process, step-by-step

I too have soft water, was wondering how they would do for me....hint, hint

Might not be compatible with my present stocking, though

Yah... I see the videos and write-ups. Looks simple but I'm scared I'll screw it up and dead fish arrive. Especially with the types of bags. Confused on that part.


What size of tank is it and what is in the tank?
I'm sure, as long as all the inhabitants are fairly small and peaceful, they won't pick at the gudgeons and the gudgeons won't go at them. BUT they may do chasing and flaring (depending on what size of fish you have and their tempermant)
