Noooo!! Evil MTS!!! Those buggas breed like mo fos and then its a pain in the arse to get rid of them!! Over ran my tanks back in Nebraska when I had them. Almost got some dwarf puffers or sumptin to try and help cut back on it, but the pikes woulda eaten them..haha. The sand is kinda dense, but i stir it twice a week when i do water changes.... The oranges are indeed really kickin in, now the blues and greens should be next!!
