I was sopposed to be concentrating on the reptiles, but the chance to keep some P. nattteri (something I've wanted to keep for a long time)made me come back to the fish side.
Theres 6 of them, only babies in a (growout)4x2x2, I was going to get less but after finding out I'd lose some to eachother anyway I didn't only want to end up with one (although that could still happen I didn't want it to be a definate).
On the way home they bit a hole in the bag and were very stressed.
But by day two they were feeding fabulously.

this was pretty much as soon as i put them in so their colour was washed out due to stress. But I turned all lights off for two days and they were fine. |

So I've been told. But I've had most other fish and although shy, they are ad will be even more so when adult, beautiful fish.
I wanted something I could keep in an amazon tank, that doesnt require so much time and effort and I have them =] |
