Just general opinion. Considering them and wondering about other people's exp with them. They're kinda pricey, so wanted to get some opinions on them.

They are funny little characters, but (mine at least) seem a bit more skittish than the yoyos, so you really do need a few. When I transfer mine to the 6ft tank I'm going to double their numbers. They are greedy little things, and I haven't come across a food they will not eat. They like plants and caves etc.

Will they eat or tear up plants? Are they good scavengers? I wondered if they would make a good substitution for Cory's.

They won't harm plants- they just play and hide in them. Mine are good scavengers.
