After going out of town for a week and a half, I came home to an injured/dying paradisefish. Not sure what happened, but there was a huge open wound on one side and he died the day after I returned home.
For some reason, standard paradisefish are hard to find in my area, but a LFS had some spike tailed paradisefish...when I got there I realized there were Pseudosphromenus dayi which are often called Day's paradisefish or spike tailed paradise fish. Here is a pic I found on the web:
Just wanted to share my cool find.
Anyone ever kept these guys before? I've wanted them since I first saw them in Pinter's Labyrinth Fish book (that must have been in the early 90s).
I now have a male and a female in a bag adjusting to my water temp and parameters.
