I went to LFS with my mom and got some fish. She offered to buy me 3 spotted headstanders because she liked them. right now they are in a 10gal fry tank till i know if its okay to put them in my community tank. Does anybody know about them? They are silver but the tip of each scale is black they have a black line running through them as well. Their backend is always higher than their head any comments would be great!

Sounds like a really interesting fish. I've never heard of it before, but after googleing it, it grows to 8-10 cm, needs temps of around 80 F and eats algae.

Feed algae wafers, prepared food and frozen food. Needs shade as plants to hide from light.

They need to be at least 3-4 in a group, and get along with the most peaceful community tank.

Sounds like my kind of fish! Good find.

thanks They will be fun to watch in the community. I've already have grown attached and I hoped that they would be ok.

SF has it covered pretty well.
They are an interesting fish and not all that common or easy to fine.

Best of luck with them.
