Well, I just have to disagree. They are difficult yes, impossible no. I do see myself keeping more in the future when I get a bigger tank. They die more easily than other fish but its not diet related. They do go into shock very easily if you leave them out of the water too long (like mine did when I took it out of the water for over 2 minutes) and they will die if you don't aerate the tank (such as mine almost did when I unplugged my skimmer). The common theme has been oxygen deprivation. This explains why they don't ship well.
