not a clue what the needs of these things are and I don't think I will be able to photograph him easily as he likes to hide

the tank is mine but the livestock belongs to my roommate...he was really exited about the Exodons when I showed them to him at the local fish store. He kept telling me I should get them and I told him I wasn't going to pay $14 a fish for a shoal of 10 fish unless I really liked them so he bought them himself  ???
