These fish should not be so common in the wild...almost definately CB. Not sure about companion , but many of us don't usually dont take much care in acclimatising the fish slowly.

decided not to get another because from what i gather, this fella is very skittish, and may die for no reason at all. funny cos it seems like a big, strong and hardy fella, from my fishing experiences in bangkok

Maybe the parents are sturdy, but not the youngs. So should I get anot? Have been told SDS occurs to 2-3". 4-5" are quite stable. Anyone can help verify?

I think best is above 6''
