I received 3 of these fish on 8/22/99. When I got them only one of them was striped. When I got them home and put them in the community tank in about 10 min. all three of them had strips, so im not sure if I have 1 male and 2 females or not. As I figure them out I will keep you posted. I did have this fish in the past and found it to be a great community fish but can get aggressive so be careful what is in with him. I did lose one of these little guys and I moved the other 2 into a breeding tank. There is a big size difference between the remaining two so I am still hoping for a breeding pair. Bummer I lost one more so I just have the one left, I hope to get several more, I really want to get a breeding pair. The color on this fish is so nice and it looks great and adds a lot to a community tank.
