The Lampeye is eye catching! Very pretty in those dark tanks, the blue color just jumps out at you. I would have to say Medium keeping and medium breeding. I am sure the English will provide these fish, but as for now you can only get them in Japan for 7.99 for 10. (or freely given by players)
Easy Breeding and easy keep have to order them from Himeya inc
