they're curious about the camera, but when it gets too close to the tank, they bolt... Sorry these are sooooo large.....





One that was curious....

Toam--

They're pretty easy, you just have to keep a REALLY clean tank. Currently, they are in a 10 gal. tank, b/c they are maybe an inch long. They have 2 HOB filters running, one for a 10 gal and one for a 15 gal...so their water gets filtered about.......20 times an hour..lol!

They are in brackish water, temp around 80 degrees....

I have to vaccuum their gravel about once or twice a week, depending on what they've ate.........

Umm...they need lotsa plants for hiding spaces, b/c they will get very territorial when they get older...

They eat ALOT and are VERY messey!!! They will eat frozen brine shrimp..bloodworms, and live snails......

All in all, they're pretty easy to care for if you keep your water pristiene (sp?)



and..if you ever get them, they are often mislabled.....!!! mine were labled as Dwarf's...which are freshwater.....these are green spotted....brackish water.
