They need a bigger tank than a 15 gallon. Love plants, kind of boring, constantly anc****************d to driftwood if it's placed in the tank, etc. They're kind of neat if you get one that doesn't hide, but all the ones i've had and seen have been pretty touchy.

i thought they would need a bigger tank, good job i checked, by intrest, what size tank do they need?

30 gallons is usually best... i've seen them do great in 45 gallon breeders before. Planted tanks are definitely a plus.
