Have any of the UK members here ever seen this fish in their LFS?

I think I just have to get some for one of the tanks, or maybe a species tank mmmm MTS its not only contagious its incurable

I've seen it. It's not that rare, but not ridiculously common. I bet your local Maidenhead aquatics will have some - they usually have everything!

I'm in the U.S and I am the proud owner of 4 of these beautys. They are simply wonderful fish for any community tank. The males are always showing off. Their a very hardy fish.

I have those in my 75g and they are great little fish. You NEED some

I bought one from my local Maidenhead Aquatics in Swindon! We have two MHA's but this is the only one I've ever seen. It was in a tank full of Celebes Rainbows and wasn't labelled. It looked cool so I bought it only then to try and find out what it is.

At first it was quite timid, now it always flared its dorsal to show off

edit: Although they're happier in groups, I have only ever seen the one, and it's more than happy shoaling with my harlequins

ive also seen them in my local maidenhead aquatics in northampton, maybe that is the best place to check?

I found eggs on a moss ball from my Thread fins. I kept an eye on them but not close enough. Next thing I see are a couple of fry. I couldn't get them out quick enough, they done disappeared. I'm so bumbed cause the female has since died. Now I have 3 males and am looking for more.
I'm also very much into the Celebes Rainbows. I have 3 at the moment in my 20g brackish tank. I do believe one is a female. Keeping my fingers crossed for sure.
