They're red terrors. You can order some from Jeff rapps. They are very nice fish. I have a breeding pair.

If you have a big enough tank with enough hiding places, pH of around 7, you can keep virtually any fish together as long as all the fish are around the same size and these two groups of fish are avioded:
Serrasalmus
Tetradon
(figure eights and dwarfs are the
exception).

I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families:
Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.

Mine are currently in a 4' by 2' by' 2' tank and the male is 14" being green in colour, and the female is 9" and is the same fish in my avater, though she's a bit bigger than that now.
All I can say is that they are very aggressive, not tolerating any other fish in their tank, unless you can afford buying a really big tank for two or more pairs. You can compare them to convicts or salvinis. The only difference is that they grow much bigger!
