The Motoro have been in their 300 for a week and a half now and I couldn't put off taking video any longer.

First part of the video is my Hystrix. They're not used to having a light overhead but their tank was too dark to film without so they're a little annoyed, poor buggers.

Middle part is the 300 with the Motoro. The male wasn't interested in having his picture taken (said something about contracts) so spent the whole time partially hiding under the gravel.

At the end is a quick shot of the back of the 300, with the tiny 30 gallon sump and the 1" spa hose I attached to make water changes quicker.

I've got 8 Geophagus that'll be going into the 300 in the next week or so and want to find some large pieces of (sensibly priced) driftwood to finish it off.

I think the Hystrix look better in person than the video suggests. Their tank isn't lit enough to get video without adding a light directly above and they weren't happy when I did it but they're coming along nicely. I asked Jeff (Rapps) to pick me out a pair with patterns that were as symmetrical as possible and I think he did a pretty nice job. I do have an underwater camera, maybe I'll try to get a pic of them that way.
