Get one, Its only the Peacock and one or to others that is a real issue with this as they has the potencial to break the grass. If you have an acrylic tank of acrylic sheet at the bottom it won't be an issue.

This guy is Pseudosquilla ciliata which is a spearer rather than a thumper. Feeds of softer foods, Fish and smaller softer inverts. I can get away with keeping Hermits and Snails with this one. No fish though.

Thanks.

Get it!, Regardless of colour they have great charactor. They will change colour through molting due to background colours I am trying to find out what I need to do to keep it yellow.

Thanks. I may try a guppy one day, I have Damsels in my nano and wouldn't be able to watch one get speared, and they are relatively expensive over here in the UK.
