Thank you very much for answering back, but I don't really know what species I will put together with them. I always think about keeping them all the time, but never have any chance to keep. That's why I ask anyone who knows something about this little cute guy.
Thank you very much again, so I have to think much harder and longer before I am going to buy them. I am planning to buy WILD one, so it will be much harder to keep. Is that right? Think again and again.

It is better to purchase F1 than F0...trust me....
WHY? Warlord But, the price is same FO and F1 because FO I can from good dealer that I know him, and he can give me very good price.
But, F1 I have to buy at my Local Fish Store that he cannot give me good price, so What I should do. |

This is what I would do.
Pick the better looking fish. Its not about the price really.. Or that its Wild or whatever. Truthfully, If i saw a Tank raised fish and it looks better than a Wild caught fish, I would get the TR. People arent going to kill you for getting Tank raised or F1 fish.
Point is, A good lookin fish is a good lookin fish.

Yes, they'll spawn for you in a 10g. Keep enough caves and places for your female to hide though as the male can be very aggressive.
Just my 2cents

If the only fish in the tank are the Telmats, I'd say you will be ok.

been checking out my new telmatos (not as much as I'd like, yet) and quickly noticed they have some shellie traits that I've not seen in any of my other shellies
one little male(?) was actually hitting the glass, trying to get to me, flaring his gills, like nothing other than a fire mouth......not red, though
its like they have an extra layer or two that they can extend to make the face look bigger
smaller ones hover on rocks a lot like julies, park like brevis
pretty sure there's a distinct pair forming in the tank w/ the white sand, and they are darker than any of the others in the white sand tank
the ones in the black sand tank are all richer in color (and as usual, there are hints of more color than a tiny fish should be able to have...hoping my flash will pick some of that up)
nice trailing eye make up, like an ancient Egyptian
photos are on the way
