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

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!
