Photograph: Sorry about the rubbish quality, they are very quick but you can see the lovely blue and yellow the males all sport
I originally bought these lovely fish as I felt sorry for them in the LFS as all but one of the males was a complete state and the single female was being constantly harrased. I brought them all home with me and then found another adult female to share the males attentions. They have since produced 4 lots of babies between them, all of which were a good size and healthy when spat. Sadly they 100L cube they are living in is really not adequate for them and now that all the fish are in good health it is time for me to find them a new home with someone who has a more spacious tank (4ft would be a sensible minimum). These fish will not dissapoint and it is very interesting to watch the males displaying and the fish spawning. The only thing I would mention it that I have always had to strip the females of their young as they have held for 32 days before and I got worried about their body weight dropping any further. However they always recover from the stress of this quickly and usually accept food the following morning. These fish have impeccable manners and have lived with my shell dweller family for many months now without incident. Please research these fish before enquiring as they do have a few basic needs which must be followed to ensure their happiness and health. I paid £15 each for these fish so I hope £30 for the group is a sensible price to ask. Pickup preferably this weekend as this will mean that the females are caught between broods and can be moved without undue stress.
