...what a wonderful phrase!
Picked up 5 of these lovely fish today for £15, they seem to be getting on OK with Mt remaining 2 x. Pygmaeus, albeit a little confusion over interspecies relationships...
Already jiggling and seem to be happy so far!
Also picked up a nice big amazon sword you can see in the background... was for the stairway tank but too tall so I split the smaller part and put the bigger bit in here

Love em. I love a lot of the little obscure livebearers, especially the peaceful ones. If I had hard water I’d be keeping some.
I don't keep fish, I keep water. Water keeps fish.

They look great, I currently keep black belly Limia, it's really nice to watch the colony grow, I don't have any other suitable tanks at the moment but the temptation is always there, well when you can find any that is, so many nice ones ::geek::

Agreed, I like the obscure (as well as my guppies ) livebearers as well.
I must make space and find some.....
