    An importer friend of mine got in her Peru shipment today and got these either by accident or contaminant and they are SO pretty even right out of the bag. They aren't real flashy but there is something about them. Anyway she knows nothing of their care and I am finding some care on the net I prefer first hand knowledge, so anyone kept these guys...I want them SO bad but have to know their care first.

    The person I am considering getting them from has some general care ideas, now if the weather would cooperate for shipping :)

    Rach is actually the person that I am planning to get them from, she told me though that her article is based on just general information for fish in the same area, it is not based on any personal experience. Was hoping I could find someone with personal experience.

    It will be tough with such a rarely imported fish unless there is something on a European forum, they seem to get everything over there.

    I haven't really looked through any of those, any suggestions on a reliable one?
