    Sounds like they can be very pricy cause of the fact that they don't breed and are hard to come by do you mind if I. Ask you how much did you pay for them @Aceman ?

    They're breeding them in captivity on a large scale now :) I'd love to get some one day, but don't currently have a large tank of the right temperature.

    Seriously Fish says to 11 cm, though I've heard of people saying theirs got bigger. But they want more space than the average 11cm cichlid or similar, because they're fast, schooling fish.

    My biggest tank is 300lts so should be just big enough but then again chances of getting them in potchefstroom are very slim

    Ask your Lfs to get them, they seem plentiful at the moment, I think I've seen them in every lfs I've visited this week
