Ooooh a treat for me today! I bought 5 b. histrionica today. Boy are they small, an inch & a half ~3 cm at most. They had just arrived last week at Uncle Neds but I had a bad few weeks shopping for a new heating system & contractor so I needed a treat.

Supposedly he'll be getting more next week but I didn't want to wait. They're all busy checking out their 20g long, Q'tank for the next several weeks, I'm excited.

Funny thing though, I asked after them & was told there only 1 left. Hah! a trick!, there were 5, a bare minimum but more than I've ever seen at once.

Mick, mine are very small, some have a "y" ish stripe at their dorsal but not all. I'd love the SOS pattern of dash & dots... too small to tell I think. But I was hoping ...

Thanks Graeme! This is the first time I've seen more than 1 or 2. They don't seem shy, maybe ready for their "welcome home worms" soon, they need some fattening up.

Well mick a nice idea but I have no camera. We had a hand me down that was very frustrating to non photogs especially :twisted: . Any suggestions on a no skill req'd one for <$200? We're spending a ton on a new boiler. We are the 1 roll a year type, just not my hobby :lol: .
