Re: N. Anomala

Hi Francine

I have had N. anoala for over a year now.  One 20 gallon tank with two male
and two females.  One 15 gallon long that has 3 males and 2 females.  I
have never had any trouble with the fish fighting or chasing each other
around very much.  In fact I have had them spawn in these tanks and get
wrigglers  but no living fry after that.
