They're settling down right now. I WILL post pictures later today.
@ BB and Gourami Guy, they're part of the group of fish called Micro-Rasboras, small schooling fish that attain no longer than about 1.2" long! They're adorable! The body is tan or yellow, with a darker brown or green line running down its body with a dot at the end of its tail, hence "exclamation point". | |

ohhhh i know...  haha you'll love them if you find them. just remember to buy appropriate sized food (woops! on my part. but i got them on crumbled TetraColor flakes, we're all good ) Quote:

Right now, mine are looking a little lost in the aquarium, its huge compared to them. The tank itself is small, a 2.5 Minibow from walmart. | |

| Thanks for the comments guys! I'm loving these little guys. They didn't take food yesterday, but they just arrived, so I'll see if I can get them to eat today. Oh, and since these fish are smaller and more active, will they have to eat more times a day, or can i just feed them twice a day? | |

| IMO, you could feed them twice a day but careful not to feed too much as you don't want to overfeed or anything.
Beautiful arrivals you have there. Never really heard of them, great to discover though | |
