Congrats on the fry Rjb3!  Very cool looking fish.  Do they behave similar to North American darters?

They do somewhat. They zip around the tank and hover like a Hummingbird does. Their head is at a level slightly above their tail while hovering. And their pectorals are flapping at incredible speed like a Hummingbird's wings do. We love them.

I found a video of them.  I really like this little fish.

Great video. That's what they do alright.
