As the title says...I have one of each about 7-8" long I am thinking about putting in my 374g sa/ca tank. Or should I just do some bushy noise and hope they dont get ate.
 
They might put a few little pits/scratches but should be that bad at all. Just keep them feed that should help keep them off the walls. For sure some big chunks of driftwood would be a good thing for them too they will cling on to it and not the walls. :)
 
Hmm ok...might not use them idk. I guess I will try and just keep a close eye...first acrylic tank so im parinoid lol.

So you think this wood should help lol (not all going to be used)

Dont know about gibbys or rhinos. But I had a common and a royal damage my 90 acrylic a few years back. I would not do it if it were me.
 
For sure I know the royal would jack it up. I had one eat the rubber coating off the power cord for the heater in the tank.
