This is quite blurry, but I thought it would be fun to show you how well these guys can hunt, even if it's just mysis shrimp, hehehe.

Yes very cool. These fish are lightning fast when they strike. I've seen one of mine hanging upside down under driftwood spy a passing Bloodworm in the current, whip out, turn the right way up, grab it, and return to the same position again all within about a second......amazing!

Very cool! I just love the way they seem to come out of nowhere once food enters the area. They are certainly one of my favorite hillstreams.
