kuhli like sand
Gravel out, sand in. Tank looks brighter, and it's easier to spot the kuhlis. The new cave is the same hunk of plexiglass (thanks Marsha!) held up by four bottle caps. The kuhlis LOVE it!! And they have fun eeling through the sand and hiding under their Indian Almond Leaf (so do the frogs.)
Carpe Didelphis!
They already do suck up sand in their adorable little barbelled mouths, and snort it out through their gills. Fortunately it's round-edged aquarium sand, and doesn't seem to harm them.
It also sticks to their backs for a few seconds after they cavort around, pretending to be Ich, just to see if my heart can survive suddenly jumping to 200 beats per minute.

I have P. Oblonga together with P. Meyersi.raecarrow wrote:Does anyone know how P.Oblonga do with other species of pangio? I've been thinking about adding some striped kuhlies to my Oblongas once I get my botine species their own tank.
They get along fine, all species of Pangio seem to get along with each other.
Pardon my English, I'm from Holland....

There's white sand with a few pieces of the original tan gravel to spice it up a bit. No white gravel, but some of the close-ups are so magnified that the sand might appear much larger than it is.
The honeycomb thing is a fake log resin aquarium decoration from PetSmart; I think it was around $19.
I just poked half a cube of frozen brine shrimp in under the shelf. WOW.
Apparently the only rule is, "He who eats the most, wins."
