Yes, I actually did get them from wet spot. I agree, awesome fish. Can't wait for mine to get larger, which probably won't take long with how much they eat!

The meeki? No I got the biggest one from petsmart since I needed to get something in the tank when I was using seachem stability to cycle it. The other 9 I got from Tropiquarium in Ocean Twp. NJ. I was going to get the pasionis for them but couldnt pull the trigger on a $50+ shipping quote.
Got both synspilum into the tank. Tried to look at both of the vents on them since Jeff labeled both bags what sex they are. Honest to god have no idea how he did cause they both looked exactly the same. So only way I can tell them a part for now is that the male has four spots on his side while the female only has three. Would try and take a picture for you guys but they have been hiding the whole time on me. Left the lights off for the last 4 hours and just turned on the blue light to try and get a glimpse and they darted into the cave I built. But both looked like nice healthy fish. Will try and get some pics when I can
Finally was able to try and snap some pics of the synspilum from rapps. Awesome looking pair and I can't wait till they really color up. Couldn't be happier with them. Still a little skiddish so it's been tough trying to take some pictures. My finnex 24/7 lights are on the 24/7 mode currently so that's why the lightings pretty dull. They seem to start adventuring the tank more when the lights dim. Also added my two Bala sharks I've had and will get a few more for a school. Big guy is about 7-8" while the smaller one is about 5"
Subbed, got a good guy to offer advice in stanz, very sensible stocking.
Personally I'm a nightmare, hope one day I can have the will power to stick to a sensible stock.

They are gonna look great as does the tank. Everyrhing jeff touches turns to gold.
Hes been extremely helpful answering all of my questions and I am very grateful for his help and knowledge. I hope to learn enough to be able to pass it on to someone else when the time comes. But you can do it! lol its tough espacially getting fish so small to begin with cause you just want to pack the tank with them since there is empty space
Thanks man. I cant wait for them to start coloring up. Looking at the pics again the lighting makes it look very red which should really be blue in color for night time. Stupid Iphone camera.
But I hope these guys turn to gold and I have no issues keeping the pair together. they are doing a little bit of chasing around occasionally but relatively normal
