I see them occasionally at a LFS in VA. Beach. I bought six of them a few months ago. I think I have males and females. I believe I have some females because they are much lighter in color than the males. Also the males will display at each other and the females don't.
Great little fish!

Great fish with strange little personallities. I had 4 males in a 12g Eclipse and they did fine.

The problem with finding females is that retailers only buy the males because of their color, the females are not that pretty. Then if someone has some females they believe that they can get a corner in the market by not supplying you with the females to breed. Kinda dumb.
