I've always been fascinated with them and I don't see them very often. anybody else has experience with them. there's not much on the net besides the basic info. if you guys have one or know of someone that has/had one, can you share your experience?

Thanks.

I don't see them that often. They are beautiful, but I lost the only one I found here locally.

thanks Brad. what do you think was the cause of losing it?

so far, they have been timid and mil manner.

I picked it up at a LFS and it wasn't in good shape from the start.
They look a lot like the yellow flanked and I already have 2 of those, so I haven't looked for another one.

ah. I see.

I think I like these guys better than the Yellow flanked since they don't get as big.

anyone else got to try out these underrated fairies?
