Collection point Wakissa Springs (son collected parents). These are by far the best looking Pygmy sunfish. This is the holy grail. They will only eat live food. They love small worms and daphnia. Hint, if you will be out of town for an extended period or you crash you live food colony, they love to eat ramshorn snail eggs and baby snails. I always keep snails in my tank and feed the snails. That gives the pygmies a constant food source as I travel quite a bit. You can also keep them with Least killifish. They get along great and will keep the population under control. You can keep shrimp w/ them and they will hold population if you have a ton of plants, but they will predate on the small shrimp.
