    Great addition. Plus you have put a fish in there that not only looks good but serves a purpose. Algae grazer!

    There's one in my LFS store for $169 he's huge... maybe 8 ".

    Here's a pic of mine. Him and the Yellow are best buddies.

    Considering I spent 54.99 on mine - seeing that pic and your price quote, made her a lil more happy about it. lol

    *sigh*
    My blue hippo passed away shortly ago...

    It was doing it's crazy swimming around the tank and was sucked straight into the power-head that feeds my skimmer.

    While I was quick to get it out, the damage was done.. Lil'fella was all chewed up on one side.

    RIP. /cry

    Karma for your loss dude. Always an insult to injury when your hardware damages your software.
