    hahaha my camera sucks so it kind of dulls out the color he's very red and stands out the most, if you have the room it would be cool to get one male and 3 females i wish i could do that but i dont have the room

    check out Seaside Tropical Fish in Huntington Beach, that's where i got him, he was only $25 and thats the lowest price that i have seen them, you can call and ask or if you go in just ask if they have the McCoskers and if they dont they will eventually order some in, thats what happened to me, i went in one day to see if they had the McCoskers they said no i went in two weeks later and they had 3 and they get new shipments in on Mondays

    yeah, I've read about the "harem", I think its called (forgive my ignorance if wrong term), when you have a male and then a few females. sounds great, but I might have to save for a bigger tank.


    right on!

    Keep in mind that they are timid fish, so if you have aggressive fish, they will need time to adjust.
