Smidey are you saying you have 4 x adult fryeri, 8 x adult empresses, and others in a 200L tank? Empresses get to 8-9" and 8 of them in a 200L tank would certainly be a site to behold, where did you find adults of them?

nah, the fryeri are adults, all the others aren't quite fully grown but the empresses are from 2 inches to 3 inches at the moment.

thanks i seen a close relative of my kadango in the tank where the yellow came from this one was a lot larger and way more colour but my 1 will get that way eventually. i had another look you may not be wrong there he is chasing away every other fish except the big yellow male even the guppies lol hasnt chased anething before . the other fish seem to being staying out of his way
