Chris,
Yes, it is a runted one which I put in there as it was the same size.I picked it up from Oakleigh aquariums I'm not surprised it didnt grow as it was pretty cheap - but funnier things have happened.

are there issues with de-nitrifying (sic) bacteria in that light (sand looking) substrate, i'm guessing you've tried bb tanks.

mind you, at least you've had a successful spawn and raising of fry. can't even get the fry to attach to parents....sometimes i wish i could just tell them what they're supposed to do lol

Brenton,

Put sand in there for looks no bio filtration in the tank - I do large wc every day. So sand is stired up in gravel filter when wc the sand only just covers the bottom and I always use bb tanks with pairs and trying to raise young.
