    Very nice. I love squares.

    Do you have them eating yet?

    Man I have been thinking about a small school of those. I have been told that they have a very high metabolism though, and need to be fed 3-4 times a day. My work schedule will not allow that. Have you heard this???

    When younger, that is correct. Fast metabolism and love the current. They are a PITA to get to eat though. Would recommend getting some from a LFS that has had them for awhile, and then make them feed them in front of you. I lost a Purple Queen due to starvation. Tried everything in the book, but couldn't get her to eat.

    Beautiful, but finicky fish.

    Awesome... I found, once they start eating, they will eat anything that hits the water.
