P/S: You will NEVER find German/Africa tangans priced lowly la....lfs do NOT make that mistake and sell them cheaply.
hahahaha that used to be true but there are some unscrupulous LFS or hobbyist who like to take taiwan fishes and sell as F1 or WC as they command a higher price. safer bet is to ask or check with fellow hobbyist which are the shops that currently bring in new wild shipments.

Your tanks has enough fishes liao....best not to add more to it unless yr filtration system is very tok kong and WC regime is frequent. At the moment, the fish may look ok and well but comes couple months time...the real problem will surface one by one. Example....your fishes will have a pecking order and the alpha/s will kill those weaker ones one by one until the tank has a nice balance to it.
