This is a quarantine tank, so don't say it's filthy, they like to pick food out of the algae/javamoss/other junk on the bottom :rofl: :thumbs: :p


So the aggression begins -_- :rolleyes:

This gives you a beter idea on their size :blink: (That's a 2.5" diameter flower pot)



They hide under the sponge filter, that's why it's floating above them, I had to move it to take the pics :) I only had one hand to use, that's why they aren't too good :unsure:
