About 1+ months old. Comes out when the lights go down to sunset level. It eats little as it's tiny still , lives on a piece of wood in the front of my tank. Very shy and bolts away once its dinner catches the eye of the Cory's. So yes I over feed . Somehow this tank keeps its parameters at zero, with no water changes in 6 months. But this is a good looking fish with multiple colors. So far I bought a 100 fish from aqua huna DOA rate is ZERO. Only deaths a month later were guppies all 10 of them. Bur they bred and I now have 80. Also 1 sword but they bred too and I have 20 more. Can't complain.
