lets just hopr they`re not high jump fish. biggrin.gif

lookin for some of those little beasties for my tank at the moment.

hope they do better than my cardinals.

have bought 16 so far and only one left.

can`t find any that are any bigger than guppy tucker at the moment.

hence 15 of them doing the long trip through my filter. :cry:
