nice! does anyone have there small guys on pellets yet?
 
Wow, they are coloring up beautifully! Does the Compressiceps leave the Retros alone?

Well for the most part. I did lose one retro because a compressiceps nibbled it's tail and spooked retro which hit it's head on a pot. It was a freak accident, barely touched it.

My retros eat 3 types of pellets, brine, a variety of flakes, bloodworms, live grass shrimp and even dried krill.
