Not even discovered a year and already they are under threat of extinction! Not good!

Thanks Jeff! There's a article by another hobbiest in Singapore that's bred them:

His setup is virtually identical to what I have right now with lots of moss, fern, anubias, and creeping jenny. I noticed last night that they have colored up significantly from when I first got them, so I'll have to look closer to see if there's any "naughty behavior" going on tonight. Let's hope so.

I dont know, just read a blurb in this months Aquarium Fish, pg 24 Latin name is Celestichthys margaritatus.....sounds like it was named by someone drinking in the moonlight, that might explain alot.
