    Nice threadfin. I have only seen them in LFS twice. All of them were in my tanks after that.:D
    Still looking for more. Unfortunately females seem hard to come by.

    I also only have 1 female and 1 male and they really die easily, have lost 2 males in the beginning and have learned to do small water changes at a time.

    I had 15 at one stage - all male. I am down to 2 now. But I didnt find them difficult to keep. I messed up a WC oneday and the next day almost all where dead. But otherwise I had them for at least 6 months without loss and the 2 survivors are about a year old now and still looking good.

    They get bloodworm once a week and another frozen food that is a mixture of 3 or 4 types in one block. I forget what its called. Then they get normal flake food crushed into tiny pieces. Soon they will be getting live food in their diet as well. If I can find a female somewhere I plan to try spawning them. I want to fill my 4ft with as many as I can get.
