  1. Very cool fish, but it can be a difficult one to keep. I tried once so far and it died within 3 days. I was told by some other aquarists that these fish are caught in the wild using a strange method involving cyanide. This can cause them to die weeks later unexpectantly.

    • Hmmm… I haven’t heard that before. Would make sense. From what I gathered, they were a rather hardy and easy fish. However, I just had a second one die. He was the first one who has shunned from the group and hid in a cave 24/7, so maybe he was just starved and bullied. I’ll be watching them a lot more closely now, and don’t think I would keep anymore.
