Excellent vid, we need more like these than...

I find the schooling behavior interesting, something you will never see in an aquarium. I also noticed a lack of much vegitative matter, I'll bet they cleaned it out long ago. It makes me wonder what they are living on.

The amount of debris they kick up when startled makes me feel better about missing a gravel vac once in a while.

Awesome video ! Makes me want to redesign my tanks so they have less planting and more space, more like the habitat in the video, i really want bigger tanks now!

Was very interesting to see them shoal together! Does anyone know if thats a wild filiming or is it a huge set-up or something?
