Thanks.

Yeah, i'm definately keeping an eye on her... She seems to be pretty passive. Just 30 mins ago one of my sens was actually laying on top of her (no joke, full on).

Brave little dude. lol

laps tend to be very weird.
back i the day,i had an 13" inch lap,which was the longest in the tank at the moment.
along with it were about 20 endlis from 10-12",sens of all kinds from 2-9",ornates from 3-6",delhezis from 3-7",and another lap around 3".
the lap ate the smallest ornate on the first or second day i had it and after that NEVER touched anyone else.
yes,there were a HUGE variety of sizes in that tank only once i experienced cannibalism.

hmmmm hope those senegals i see are tankmates and not food better watch them closely and keep that Lap we'll fed

The sens are about 5" and the lap is just under 9".

So far so good.
