They are neat eh?

I tried some in my aquarium once, realising that they couldn't right themselves if upside down (no extendible foot) I put them all carefully foot-down on a rock. Half an hour later I discovered that the bullies had prised off and eaten every last one of them! (and you will have seen just how hard it is to get them off rocks!)

I had a couple in a fishless tank but they died, not sure why.

Looking forward to your photos.

(before anyone asks what on earth they are, we have had several threads in the past discussing them, do a search :))

Posting on behalf of Ryan, these are the ones in my tank atm. They are reposts by the way.

These are ones we tried to take of them glowing, but we had a bit of trouble with shutter times etc... In real life they are quite a lot brighter though.

They are all about 2-3mm, we had a few casualties but I still managed to get around 8 or so onto some rocks and driftwood. Hopefully they survive the Koura as their Tankmates
