I love the cheek markings on the pinima. They all look great w/ look black gravel!

Thanks guys. They are in a high maintenance 180g. They are definitely beasts. All the monos are over 15" and so is the pinima.

They do look exceptional now they have settled in, i was looking at going black sand but had no idea on how to remove the sand while the tank was occupied, how did you do it tim?

 

[FunWow!]

Nice! How long did it take the white dots to come in on the pinima?

i agree, they look great on it.. but im also curious as to how u got the sand out and gravel in without it being so complicated, unless it was.. and in that case ur alot more patient then i am
