Thank you all. :D Andy, those were Hikari algae wafers that had been put into all the stock tanks containing L-numbers just before the lights on the system were turned off. I was quite surprised that the Pangios were going for them like that!

The Eirmotus octozona are indeed most peaceful. I did have a nice big shoal in my river tank, but they were extremely shy and although they grew well in a quieter area of the tank (not convinced they really appreciated the high flow) I recently took them back to the shop, just in case they had been predating on any of my Sewellia sp. fry.

Martin, thanks for adding in the extra pics to the profile. In addition to Graeme's purchase of a nice-sized group of these kuhlis, another customer was buying some yesterday when we were there, and Mark and Graeme directed her to LOL for the new profile. 8) So it was most handy that you put it together so quickly. :D

I haven't added in any extra pics to the profile yet, only the original one.

Actually, with my new super-bright monitor I can't really see the water marks :D Most of the pics look too bright to me. And I was complaining my old monitor was too dark :roll:

Hi Emma, i must add some algae wafers to the menu, you more than likely know this ? but i also find that Coolies love J M C pellets ! in fact they seem more excited about these than frozen bloodworms !

Oh yeah, they sure do! All our loaches seem to appreciate the JMCs actually. I just hadn't expected to see these little wrigglers going so mad for algae wafers! :lol:

Heheh! You're more than welcome David! We have oxygen on-site and can pack fish for long journeys. :wink:
