yep thats the one, in fact is that the shot you had as your avatar a while back? stunning fish. never really seen them around here to much. i'm thinking of turning my 5 x 2.5 x 2 into a geo eartheater/ catfish tank. how would a colony of these go with loaches? also how many heckelii would you put in a tank of that size - M/F ratio. sorry for all the Q's but you seem to know your shizznizzle when it comes to eartheaters

thanks in advance
 
looks great guys all your tanks blow mine out of the water.. working on getting back into my SA themed tank like i was once crazy into and rebuilding the stock

growing out red hump geos, wild chocolate and rotkiels right now

otherwise i have 4 severums, Jag cat, and 2 R.T. Cudas.

want to have a final stock in a 210 at least with the cudas, severums, chocolate, some geo's and jag cats. and another tank like japes community SA where i can grow out smaller pickups and keep a nice shoal of something like serpaes or bleeding hearts and some geo's

Good luck sexing them. Shoal of say 6 would be great.
 
Hey japes, do you get any babies from your eartheaters? I am getting a 6x2x2.5 next saturday, and was thinking of going for a SA tank. I am in brisbane as you can see so if you do get young, drop me a PM.
