    I am NOT getting this (it's just WAY too deep water), but wouldn't this guy be awesome with them. Same pattern!

    It's an Aussie, so it should be spectacular when it grows.

    great update Incognito

    very impressive collection IMO

    tank maintenance must required a lot more attention than many people would typically need
    retrieving anything that falls over for example, is not something you can just rush at
