Thanks for the URL - it's a keeper.

But about pulcher and brichardi it says " All these species are
relatively peaceful." You say they are "fierce little fighters".
Baensch says nothing aout brichardi aggressiveness, but claims leleupi
is "relatively peaceful". I've seen another well known reference
(can't remember the author) that says leleupi is more agressive than
brichardi and pulcher is the leas agressive of them all.

Is there enough behavioral diversity in these species to account for the
difference of opinion?

I'm really curious because pulcher is one I was considering for my next
tank.
