Just thought I'd post the little I know about these little guys.
I picked some up at the LFS last week with intent to breed them if I can. I've set up a little 10 gallon tank at home to give it a whirl. Also informed the store that these little guys have been fished out in their native habitat. Hopefully people who buy them will have a crack at breeding them as well.
I bought 6 of these little fellows, 3 male and 3 female, the males have brighter fins and have a deeper body color. They are NOT shy, they are outgoing little fish and settled in almost immediately. I have them with 3 cardinals and 2 guppies at the moment until their new home is properly cycled. The large female who is about an inch long (3 cm) has already scouted out her territory under some plants and shoos everyone else out. They seem to be peaceful little fish with each other and also to the other fish in the tank. No fin nipping so far. The smallest one is a little over half an inch (about 1.5 centimeters) and is male. Who knows if he's full grown or not. I've been feeding them crushed tetramin flakes which they seem to like.
I think these little guys are super. They're not nearly as showy as the cardinals and some of the other glowy tetras but they have nice little personalities and they move around the tank a lot in a relaxed manner. They don't dart around and it's tough to spook them. If I approach the tank they become curious and come to the glass to see what's up. No deaths to report so far, they all look happy and healthy. Tough little nuggets.
Apparently they haven't been classed yet. Personally, i think they look like a little danio of some sort. I think these little fish are going to be great for people who want small tanks because of their tiny size and peaceful demeanor. nano fish! I really hope people try to breed them.
here's my crappy picture:
