Badis Badis?

[KRol]

Anyone have any info on these guys? Good in a community tank? Need to be kept in pairs? Any one had any sucess in keeping them? Thinking about having 1 if possable in a 36 gal with
6-glowfish
6-Harlequin Rasboras
8-Cardinal Tetras
6-Julii Cory Cats

Do you mean the scarlet badis? Several fish species have been refered to as badis badis. I might be wrong.

Eh kinda...im talking about the actual Badis Badis..they do look very very close. They are also called Dwarf Chameleon Fish

The chameleon fish? Yeah those guys are cool.

I keep a pair in a 10g with simple plants attached to some DW and some floaters. They're calm and curious not big swimmers. Very finicky eaters so live food is a must.

You could pull off keeping them in that tank but feeding them could be a chore due to there shy nature. I use piplets to squirt some microworms or what ever culture I'm keeping near them cause I keep them with a cpo and a killi pair.
