This little guy (I think) had to be banished from the 10 gallon Ocellatus tank, once his two other tankmates had paired up.

Here he is hiding:

He was staying still enough to allow me to take all of these pics without the flash.

nice fish, you should try some color enhancing foods, just get ones without the use of hormones. mine brighten up after some brineshrimp.

also, its kinda hard to tell, but if that gravel is large enough so that he has to struggle to dig your gonna want finer gravel probably. ive seen tons of deformed jaws due to gravel being too large.

Thanks :)

thekrib: I originally had this little guy in a tank with 2 other Ocellatus. Once they paired up and had fry I had to move him to a tank without a sand substrate :( I will probalby sell him at the same time I sell the fry.
