That is some really nice pics of a really good looking shoal..... Hope the peace will continue.

So far so good DB.... They seem to be more active with their new tank mates and they have plenty of room now to roam.

Very nice. How many in the shoal?

There was 8.... then I got rid of one of the smallest ones and removed the other small one a few weeks back. There's 6 total in this group.

I know the feeling! I lost one last week when the power went out. They went crazy when the lights went out. I guess he got knocked good. Damn rain.

It was actually easier than I thought. Starve for a few days (not weeks) and have a good enough current to toss the smelt around the tank. Fortunately most of the smelt that I've been using will float after it escapes the current only to tumble again in the current once it makes it's cycle around the surface. If the armatus doesn't hit it during that period, they will often go grab it off the surface as it floats. But once it hits the bottom.... it will not be touched. The nice thing about having the Endlis/Delhezis in the tank it they will devour any leftover food on the bottom.

Man that looks sweet!!! HOW ABOUT A FULL TANK SHOT ;)

Not as nice as your stocklist there bud! The flash ruins the tank shot.... and it's just gravel anyway.
