Hey Wendi -- Since one of the factors in your kubotai problems was elevated nitrites, I thought I'd describe a similar problem in my tank. I have a group of 14 kubotais, & two of them occasionally used to go into flashing mode. None of the others have ever done so. The first time it happened, I play...

Erik's got this cool setup for CO2 injection - Erik, you should post a shot of that!

How 'bout a posting a shot & maybe some comments about how you set it up & how it works?

My lfs insists that they never have problems with kuhlis. However, they too only order 15 - 20 at a time, so the small # per order hypothesis may apply here.

A couple years ago I nagged the lfs guy to get some. But no -- "they stay here f...

Looking at the pics posted by Nonn of h smithi in their natural environment, I wondered: do h smithi ordinarily school, similar to the way that many botia species do? Sure looks like it from the pics. Or maybe the pics were taken in an area where there just happened to be a concentration of smithis ...

Awesome pics -- thanks! All those little smithi's on one rock, and not merely because they're in one of our relatively small aquariums!
