Received very healthy fish. They are great algae eaters. But you must feed them some algae wafers from time to time.

Great little fish. Seem to be all over the tank. Took a couple of days before they settled and started cleaning the plants. Spent most of the time on the glass. Will eat a bit and rest for a while. Definitely need a bunch to get everything cleaned up. Not very shy or bothered by some current given its small size.
