That is very cool. I like the picture of her in her tunnel. How long have you had her?

About 3 years, so fish probably 4 years old but I don't really know.....

My RD is 5? (edit, maybe more like 4? Bought at 3 inches, so IDK), welcome to the forum!

My RD lives with 3 giant danios and 2 rosy-red minnows I dewormed and quarantined out of the feeder tank, lol. She ate one rosy red experimentally (there were 3) but must not like the flavor...

She also did great with her buddy chinese algae eater, but the CAE died in a filter upgrade accident. Stepped away to build an intake cover right after I got it running and the little torpedo shot right into the filter, I couldn't save him.

Oh, and she lives in a plastic "pvc" noodle, ha ha.

I wouldn't put anything with her that I don't expect to see murdered one morning, even though she's been relatively mild for a RD so far.

Lol @filter upgrade accident. I can only imagine the possibilities.

Heh. I threw on an old Magnum HOT and was still figuring out media, etc. Had it running after a bucket test, just seeing how the current did in the 75g, etc. Turned away from the tank to look for plastic caging to cover the intakes and BAM, he'd already gone up the pipe headfirst, presumably to explore. Dead. I'd retrofitted the intakes with big PVC piping, he got stuck at the top where it narrows down to the the original intakes.
