Looks like a nice fish.

Good looking fish indeed. The substrate looks neat too, but I wonder about maintenance.

They are awesome looking fish. A friend has some shellies, I've always wanted some.

They are beautiful fish! I want to keep some one day, but their spunk is what keeps me from getting them sooner.

What kind of sand is that? It's gorgeous.

These are very cool fish I also wants some someday just have to wait for a larger house so I can have more tanks

the sand is from my local river bed went fishing , and saw it there so i got some buckets and filled them up . the little fish are sure full of spunk always digging and moving there shells around .They also get along quite well. I never see any fights among them and i also have a couple of fan shrimp in with them.

I forgot to ask, what size tank are they in?

darrin36 · 02-02-2008, 05:15 PM
