I just got a piece of Malaysian for my pleco and no visible tannis at all.

Sigh, they are so pretty though. I heard they can have temperaments just like regular dempseys. Suppose it's best not to chance it :(

I want to get a EBJD but I'm worried, the acara is fairly big like 3.5" compared to a baby Dempsey. What do you guys think?
