They're kinda smiley, almost like ropes.

He's frequently out in front of the tank. Preferring the upper surface right now. Still not back to in-store colors yet.

Great poses and pattern! Mine has more of a solid color, and its pattern only becomes discernible at the caudal peduncle to tail.

Will be very interesting to see their differences as they age :)

OK Cohazard Cohazard - I got 2 videos of Soba Mr. Moke and the rest of the crew last night, just for you.


This one highlights Dottie, the gorgeous L075 for a bit, too. She's a bit of a spaz, though. Gets annoyed at the polys who have no body awareness issues. LOL

And a pic of dudebutt

I love your poly jungle tank. Macaroni and the noodle just want to cuddle. Udon and soba are so gentle in their swimming. Very beautiful.

New addition!

I was convinced to get one now - it should be able to grow out in this tank for a year or so I've been told, and since they may not come around for another year, it makes sense to have a larger one to add to the big tank when I get it.

There were 3 in the store. Two were the most striking red/yellow - biggest and smallest. So I chose biggest (about 4") even though the tail is not perfect. I'm hoping that will heal and is not a defect.

Either way, please welcome Ziti to Noodletown.

I was considering on getting a teug since all you guys posting all this picture, until i saw DMD123 DMD123 lolz
Tweedle would have been fine with a tank of upper jaws like I originally planned when it was with a palmas palmas, buettikoferi, delhezi and even the weeksii. But when my plans changed and the stock went lower jaw it was the beginning of the problem. There was too much available food and it was a very fast eater. All the big boys in the tank think about it for a minute before they feed, the teug was on it instantly. I say go for a teug but just watch its eating habits.
 
Well mine didn't eat tonight, and I fed catfish. :( It's normal, I know, for them to go a couple of days. But I'm a natural worry wart.

Do you think I should try and feed again tomorrow or fast a day like I would if he wasn't here? Maybe just put some bloodworms or krill in his corner if he's there?

He gave me a scare earlier. Couldn't find him anywhere.. Was thinking "Oh ****, Udon proved me wrong and ate him!" But I found him, right next to Udon. :o

I'll be happy when he gets a little chunkier. The rest of the time he's mostly been on his own. I prefer it that way at the moment. Ha

I say fast a day and try again with some bloodworms.
 
Could also try a different type of fish like tilapaia

Right now i think it will be fine, my problem is like you mentioned, when the teug goes into the LJ tank, cause i wont leave it in the 65g forever, even i upgrade the 65g it will be a 100g or a 75g just for UJ.
