But what’s ur experience with them, do they school?
Have anyone seen them for sale anywhere

Hi all,

If you can find them, they are definitely a black-water fish. Aqualife Leyland , or Pier, might be your best bet.

I haven't kept these, and they will need some live food, but most black-water fish aren't too problematic to feed. The real problems are just with keeping the water clean and soft enough.

I think they are still too niche and expensive for most people to have tried yet. A decent sized school would put a pretty large dent in the wallet. They look really cool and I'd love to try them someday but for now they seem like the ada version of a black neon.
 
Yes, I've 10-15 Tucanos
