Thanks for the interest, everyone. I'll see about that feeding video, although it's not terribly interesting -- they are all eating pellets now. ;) I'm travelling this week, but my husband knows the fishkeeping ropes. I'll update sometime early October.

Well, they had a little help. They're in the tank with a 'nanny' -- a female jaguar that is the same size. She was already eating pellets, so they were able to learn from her.
Everyone else is eating pellets in my tank, but he'll watch them eat and then come and beg when it's all gone lol. He'll break soon though.

It's been a month since I got these little guys, time for an update, WOOP WOOP!!

No videos since I am a bum. They've got some size on them, and they're starting to spangle up around their bars.

This is the big unsexed one, he's probably close to 6 inches now.

The 'brave' female, since she swims out to the center of the tank most frequently, and doesn't put on her stress colors around the camera. SUPERSTAR!

And the little male. Still pretty skittish, so the pic's blurry compared to the other two.

Happy viewing, folks!

H.O. T5 on this tank.....I keep it pretty dim though, I run only 2 bulbs instead of the full 4.
