The fish in the pic is indeed P. mombassae. I think there was a cut-and paste done of the text and all references to P. miles weren't removed (also, Mombasa is mis-spelled). It needs some cleaning up.

A 55 or 60 gal setup should hold an adult Mombasa fine, but a P. miles should indeed be in a larger setup like a 100 or 120 (for a P. miles, think P. volitans in terms of care).

Oddly enuff, our Mombasa was ID'd as P. miles at the wholesaler...I have NO idea why, as they look NOTHING like a miles. Now if the ID had been P. antennata, I could get the confusion...

They don't look anything like P. miles or P. volitans, but are indeed "flamboyant":

P. mombassae:




P. volitans:
