African Butterfly Fish

Picked up three of these last week. They're all eating freeze-dried plankton and frozen beef heart.

They look like Siamese Twins.
The local Petsmart, strangely enough, has some of these in. They are certainly beautiful. They told me that they are feeding them crickets and a few have already tried to escape their tanks. Jeff
