If I told you then I'd have to kill you, do you still want to know? The area where they come from, there are no ornamental tropical fish exporters...and there are 2 populations, brackish ones, and also landlocked ones! If you get the brackish ones, which I have in the past, they live for a year or so and will sometimes die mysteriously.
