VID, just of the whole tank... the cats too small to get a nice vid of. will get a good one in a couple months... but check out those monster tetras!

He's really fun to watch... makes me want an LED system for my tank. he wont swim around the tank unless its almost completely dark. he will need training...

he's also supposed to get to a nice size... wont be this small for long.

What's the species name? If it's what I think it is, they look really cool as adults.

I.d.ing it was tough but im fairly sure its Chrysichthys auratus. Is that what you were thinking of?
