suphew Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Don't forget you will need to figure out a way of keeping the tank cool, round 15 degrees or less I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectlocal Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 yeah although catching them will probably prove to be the real challenge. thinking suck gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 suphew is right they can tolerate warmer but not for too long a period fungus whitespot etc. made a suckgun out of perspex tube and diaphragm rubber a few tears back it worked a treat when they dived into the rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectlocal Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 cool well i defiantly want to try the blue dots would be cool to document the habits of a relatively un studied fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
