BTW don't know if you knew this, but these fish make sounds, similar to sparkling gouramis. It's similar to their noise, but quieter. They do it sometimes when they play and when you feed them. if it's quiet enough you can actually hear them, but the most obvious is when you net them out, which of course I don't recommend you do just for the pleasure of hearing them "scream for help" xD
