Will they be a good addition to my current stock?

[Mick]

A lively fish that can move as quick as your Danios, generally peaceful if kept in groups of at least 6

[malakye]

They are more readily available now than they used to be and as Mick said they do better in groups of 6 plus, 4 being the absolute minimum.

I looked these up on ebay, expensive I think at £15 each, couldn't find any cheaper.

[Katfish]

My LFS is selling them for £1.75 each

Ha, ha sorry, was looking at red line torpedo barbs, large ones.
