Did you have anything specific you wanted to know in mind? :%) -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

Black Lancer (which I am lucky to own) is very peaceful and won`t eat any other fish, they are scavengers and will only eat fish if they are dead. I have never seen my Black Lancer go for any other fish whereas my Featherfin is much more aggresive than the Black Lancer.

Otherwise, though, you're right; I hear they're VERY peaceful. Again, damn you and such for getting one, you lucky punk ;_;.

Thats about $7 US I think Well £12 plus £10 for the courier and then next morning it was in my tank
