Personally, I like tigers better, but if you find tiger nevrous fin nippers, black rubies are your fish. Especially the males are much prettier than tigers; they didn't get there name for nothing!

They are all really big now too. As soon as I can get a pic of them I will get it here or pm it to you. They are a cool fish, just as active and not as aggressive as reg. Tigers.
