I am the proud owner of 6 of these little guys. I received them at about 1" in size and am waiting for them to grow out to start breeding. They are in the current grow out tank which is 75g. I have had them for about a week now and they have some personalities!

Here is what an adult female looks like.

Nice little fish, essentially a milder-tempered orange convict. You should have room for at least 2 spawning pairs in a 75.

Cute little thing!:22:
I can't help but think of those black tiger shrimp when I look at it!

Wow, I caught the title of this thread out of the corner of my eye and I immediately though "more spam crap." Thought I was going to open it up and read something like "Now buy for you can new phone in package battery working calls!" :ssuprised:

Heck of a name of a very beautiful little fish!

Yeah basically a milder tempered con!

My wife, me, and another married couple are starting a small breedery. We have 2 55g, 4 75g, 40g hex, and are collecting various 20 and 10 gallon tanks for hatching and grow out tanks and what not else.

Thanks. The guy I bought these from hasn't had them for almost a year. This time around I had a spare tank so I purchased them and in they went!
