Never heard of this one, sold as a 'four-line pim.' LFS says they get 10" long, Cat-eLog says 6". Do they have any special requirements? I got two, since new pims are hard to come by in these here parts.

The fish sold as four-line pims are more likely to be <i>P. blochii</i>, which do grow to 10". Pretty undemanding, if somewhat underrated fish. Not as sociable as <i>P. pictus</i>, but they should get along fine if the tank is large enough.

They do look a lot more like blochii than albofasciatus.
