Yay!!! Congratulations! Can't wait to see with what you came up with, when designing your tank. I JUST finished redesigning my multi's tank. It looks so much better already. I added two dozen more shells to there tank, and I think it looks more natural with the tank bottom being mostly covered with shells than sand. Before they only had three shells each and now they get nine each. Two of the females are already squabbling, and, of course, my male hasn't even come out to see what's going on yet! Anyway, once the water clears up and they get settled in I'll try and post some pics, too.

Now you're new debacle is going to be, "Is this a male or female?"

Tank looks totally different than what I intended, I didn't think there would be enough sand so I added the last of my aquarium sand then the caribsea stuff, there is tons of it in there , it buried all the rock layouts I had,the Juli is hiding in the smallest of small "caves" the Caudo has vanished (it's beautiful), I saw Brichardi(?) and Lelupi(?) tonight on my travels but have made a firm decision to put nothing else in....not even putting my apple snails back in so I think they will be up for grabs soon..... I'm just back in the house and have had no time to enjoy them (doing that just now) , havn't put the tank light on (would it be ok to do so ?), is it to early to feed them yet ?
They are tiny........
