Additional Information


Miscellaneous Information: 
Unable to sex these fish so the pair was bought in the hopes one would be male and one female.  They never fight or chase each other and always stay close to each other.  Sometimes one displays to the other but there is never any biting or frayed fins.  I think they may be a true male and female pair because they almost always sleep in the same PVC pipe, touching each other.

Please have better luck than I did.
