African Tigerfish

[FreshFish]

Hydrocynus vittatus - Looking for 2 or 3. Need help finding them!! I already have one, but he needs some roomates pretty quickly! He's too skittish, and keeps running into the glass when people walk by. I've been informed that they are brave fish in numbers. Thanks for any help!

No, but I do want two of those as well (not kidding). An African tigerfish is one of these:

Thanks for cheering me on. I know no rocks. He only has a large sword plant and grasses along with a piece of drift wood that lays flat on the gravel with java fern growing on it.

I'm trying everywhere and way I can to find these fish - except for going to Africa and catching a few myself.

:huh:
