    Looks like there is some broken up spaces for each but one might decide on a big area for himself.

    They eat blood worms readily but it's not the best food as a staple diet.
    Try and get some microworms too, they stay alive for a long time in water and the basis would love hunting them.

    Good for you Madhatter that fish seems in the need for much tender loving care.

    I'm sure you're being perfectly humble! - Would love to see your Congo once it's up an running.

    Boesmani are still expensive, but worth it in my opinion.

    I love the Dwarf Neon Rainbows, got 4 for a steal @ R15 each the other day so sad most of them where gone by the time I got there, I paid for 5 but only had 4, the 5th one probably fell out of the bag at the lfs dude probably thought he did put it in. And the bags they use you cannot see what's inside they use seachem bags :-( will still get a few more later on want at least 10 of them

    They are amazing little fish, but I decided on the Boesemani as they are slightly bigger, growing to between 10-15cm, and a school of 8 of them is about all that my 4ft can handle once they grow to adult size.
