New additions from Emma's store. I purchased 4 Syncrossus helodes rangeing from 5 inches to 7 inches. It's fare to say that last night was a noisy night. The gatterling guns where out all night long. I take it that my Yasuhikotakia eos finally found their match! Here's a few pictures of just one of the Syncrossus helodes above a Syncrossus berdmorei.

I'm pretty sure that this is the chap who spined his/her way through 6 or 7 bags while Emma was bagging then. :lol:

I have a feeling that activity levels in Graeme's Grrrr Tank will be off the scale today! :lol: Although he purchased 3 large S. helodes, that particular specimen was such a troublemaker!!!

I haven't seen the Y eos since these chaps entered the tank. :!: Saying this, one end of the tank is not known for the XL Helodes to enter. I suppose a new territory is established, for now........ :lol:

More posing shots....

Wow... I haven't seen a Helodes that big since my big boy (RIP some years ago :( ) I have a new Helodes now, the picky little bugger only eats bloodworms. I've heard these guys can be really mean fish. I never had a problem with my big guy, but I wish you the best of luck with that one! Oh, and very nice fish!
