I was cleaning up in my fish room this afternoon and saw something currious. Almost all of my Confuzonas were congregating around the pump outlet manifold. It is common to see two or three together but this time there were nine, all in the space of the palm of my hand. Some were upside down on the side and bottom of the manifold where it is imposible to get a picture.

Interesting....not what happens here.

Do any of yours have "preferred places?"

My six are now divided into two groups: three, who also happen to be the fattest, have their own spots; the other three are "homeless" and are foraging most of the time....

Hey Jim
As much fun as the Sewellia and confuzona are to watch I have given thought to finding another large tank and giving each one its own. Cost is a setback, but if I look for long enough I am sure I could find another deal of the century. I also keep going back to the photograph on the Sewellia index page of Sewellia in the wild. A smooth rockwork only bottom would present a striking appearence.

Chris:

Thats what I'm in the process of doing right now. I have a prototype river tank that will consist of the PVC piping covered by insulating foam "great stuff" here in the states and rocks. it should very closely simulate the rocky floor...

I'll have some pictures up soon....

I had considered fiberglass and real slate. The caverns and overhangs you could make are endless. Your way it much easier to change. I would love to see how it turns out.
