Not at all, I'm finding them robust, easy to feed, lots of fun and absolutely beautiful. They spawned for the first time just before Christmas, guarded the eggs very well for three days and then the eggs disappeared overnight. First spawn so I wasn't worried. Having moved them into a much larger system with only a few Tetras for company (Hyphessobrycon sp. 'Ugly' according to a certain Mr. Lucanus), a male was last night courting three females in turn, cleaning sites with all of them. While I admire his enthusiasm, his morality could maybe do with a tweak.
