Archocentrus Nanolateus

[pablo111]

Anybody know anything about this fish? A google image search will reveal a gorgeous blue (yellow female) fish very similar in shape to a convict.

I have read in TFH that these make a great community fish with similar size fish (which I have, in a forty gal)

Anybody know if they can be kept successfully by someone who still isn't entirely good at keeping fish, but is learning?

Also, I have read that they only eat insects? Obviously id need them to eat flake- is this possible?

THanks dudez!!!!!!!*celebrate *celebrate

I previously have kept Archocentrus sajica, which had a similar rep but I found to be little terrors. I don't really trust any Arch. in a community setting anymore - tho' I suspect it would vary a lot from fish to fish tho'. The upside is ,if you get em you'll be able to breed them, and sell the fry, unlike cons
