[edit] Questions

I recently created this article - a few questions remain unanswered:

Does the juvenile colouration fade with age (in general or in any species) or not?

What exactly is the diet of these fish - do they actually eat deat meat or do they just graze the fungus/bacteria that grows on dead animals?

Life span 15 years - correct? any examples please?

Breeding - is it in holes in mud banks or are the holes made just for the dry season?

Thank you.HappyVR 15:50, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
