Kleiner nachtrag: habe heute den kleinsten meiner Gruppe verloren, da er über Nacht aus dem Becken gesprungen ist. Denke mal die anderen haben ihn raus gejagt.

Die Tiere verhalten sich ähnlich wie die bekannten Viridis, nur das sie wesentlich kleiner bleiben.
Nehmen ohne Probleme Frost- und Trockenfutter an.
Können untereinander auch recht ruppig sein.
