cheers guys...stunning response...
i've heard that they're jumpers...
they were indeed dear...10 [greatbritish] pounds each... !!!
by far my most expensive swimmers...worth it 'tho ...
they are great looking fish...and very peaceful...
after a day of 'getting to know you' my tank settled down...
and everyone is happy...'specially me ...
the plattie fry went back to the lfs...
all but 3...i had to keep some...they were so perfect ...
so thanks again guys...for your congrats...and your assistance...
my tank is in great shape because of your help...
you should be proud of it...and yo'selves too ...
