    I saw one at a LFS yesterday. He wants $9.99! :-/ He's pretty small.

    amcarrig, i think it's your cats going fishing. J/k.

    Bruce, how small are they. I tried to put 2 little panda's in my nano and they never had a chance. lasted 2 day they were so small. I think my clown got to them.

    I found that mine only do well with tangs. The clown and of course the damsel's were relentless. I think my neon was only safe while cleaning / riding the sailfin tang.

    I'll have to get a few and put them in my 90gal. Maybe a school of neon and panda's would be very cool.

    They arent that small, maybe 1.5in. At the moment nothing is messing with them, I will keep my fingers crossed.

    I like the way they look and act also :) I just haven't had any luck with them surviving in my tank...So I quit trying ;)
