damn spotted rapheals are exspensive in minnesota, got mine for just under 6 bucks after sales tax here in northern california.

To see my spotted, i walk into the room the tank is in in pitch black dark, got the room's layout memorized so i don't trip, and then with a dimmed flashlight watch him cruise around the tank.

if i turn any light on him longenough he hurries back to his hide which is inside a pice of drifgtwood that has almost neutral boyance, floats under water.

Your lucky to see your guy move. I've NEVER seen my guy swim even when we had a moonlight on the tank and sat quietly watching the nocturnal crowd. He's not dead, so he must eat at some point.
 
Mine hides in a crook in a piece of drift wood I can see him clearly and I have seen him out and swimming a few times.
 
it found a new spot today hopefully when it is bigger it will go to the slate as all the other spots would be to small without it rearanging the place...

the price isn't to bad and i can get other fish "cheap" my silver was $10 so in the end it evens out...i have done the same dark trick to try and see my old pirahna eat but it didn't work...
 
This cat may as well be a stone, i have had one for years sometimes i forget he is in the tank. He goes long periods wedge deep in a log every once in a wile he becomes more active puts on weight then hibernates again for months shrinks down to nothing one cool looking cat boring.

i like the look of them...ya they hang out in one spot, but i have alot of diff. fish in the tank so there is always something happening sometimes i see a fish 1-2 times every few weeks so it is kinda like i get a "new" fish every few weeks...keeps me entertained...if i see the same thing for to long i start to lose interest in it......i hope my wife don't see that;):ROFL:, but thats why i change my tank layouts every month or so, to spice it up...
