Wow man, just saw this thread for the first time in your sig in another thread.

That is a sweet looking tank. How is the softy doing in the tank? does he have a perch out of the water? Difficult to get him to eat/compete for food?

thx! the soft shell is doing good. when i first got him, he got a little bit of fungus since i didnt have a perch for him. i got him one of those little floating turtle docks and it worked great, fungus cleared right up. dont really see him use it anymore but he's still doing real good.

as for feeding, this guy is an absolute PIG! he'll swim to the top and get right up in the mix with all the rowdy cicha. he'll actually stick his head way out of the water so i can feed him by hand, really tame little guy. :)

Awesome, do you have anymore pics of him? Does he have a UV or UVB light? Or does he not need one?

....I keep finding these orinos that continue to blow my mind! i picked up two of these guys over the weekend, theyre about 10". theyre colors are like nothing ive seen before and make my other orinos look like ugly tadpoles. i ended up selling two already. i feel like dumping the rest of my orinos if i can find more of these guys. NEW MISSION: HOARD ALL THE TOP QUALITY ORINOS I CAN FIND!!!!!!!!! :headbang2

i'm sure you can see right away which ones the two new guys are, they stick out like a sore thumb :) and there's a few bonus shots in there. another new addition is the 14"+ FL ocellaris. love this guy, he has amazing colors too.

enjoy :popcorn:
