I bought 12 of these guys awhile back. They are some of the heartiest fish I have ever seen. Out of the 12 I got two breeding pairs and they gave me over 24 fry. The fry where very easy to raise and are all over an inch in size now!
The mainly play with each other and I have never noticed any fin nipping from them. They never stop moving! Fairly fast swimming fish with tons of energy. They like to drive bomb their food and constantly play haha.
Overall a very nice fish and eye catching for sure!

I have them and they are very easy to keep. Mine are in a community tank with no problems.
