I came across these adorable black tiger badis at a different store. I came home with what I thought was a trio, the person was positive there was only 1 male. They were all male and when I inquired I was told they all look the same as soon as the net goes in. I can understand to a certain degree, I wasn't looking to return fish, I just wanted females. Their loss.

When this fish came in stock at Angel Fins I was so excited! I was finally able to get a couple females to add to my badis tank. They settled in well, I have lots of flower pots, rocks and plants to break the line of sight. So if there is chasing it's only for a second. As with any badis you have to feed live or frozen food. They seem inquisitive when I add flake but they rarely touch it and if they do, they spit it back out. This is just one of those fish you have to accept that they may not convert to flake food.
