Nice choice of fish, the males are absolutely beautiful the females
however remain pretty drab and this is worth considering if you intend
to breed them as you'll ideally need a 1:3 male/female ratio'
Here's some info from wikipedia, good luck with the new fish!

Best of luck with the breeding project, one thing for sure you won't
have any probs off loading any offspring.

You'll need at least a 75 gallon tank, larger would be better.
