Hey mate :) thanks alot!

I don't think they're all that common at the moment, I have only ever seen them advertised at one aquarium shop, rather pricey at $85 for a 4-5cm fish, and that was atleast a year ago, I got mine from lungy (for free) but I think he sold his at about $50ea a while back. The tapajos do look rather similar, but I think they are a little darker orange?
