Does anyone have any information about this fish? They are available at Live Aquaria right now, and I have a couple of questions about them.
a) How bright is the color? Is there a lot of variation between individuals?
The first photo I saw of this fish that got me interested in it is posted here:
http://uri.sakura.ne.jp/~dd/w/wt168.htm
But Live Aquaria describes this fish as a dull gray, quite unlike the photo posted above. And the fish pictured on this page - http://www.fishbase.org/Photos/ThumbnailsSummary.php?ID=4376 - also appear to be much less intense.
b) Drs. Foster and Smith lists them as maxing out at 5", yet says that they are suitable for a "30 gallon aquarium or larger"... that's the same tank size that they also give for much smaller fish such as Banggai cardinals, clownfish, etc. So what gives? Are they just a very inactive fish?
Any input and info would be great!!! Thanks!
