here's my question:
in my asian community tank, which is here (http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=188266), do you think this cat can compete with 30 CRS and 4 large amanos? they are voracious scavengers. I would love a little cat like this, but worry. also, I get the idea this is not an algae eater... does anyone else have one?

I wanted to get some.. invertszfactory sells them. Regularly do an auction on aquabid for like 10 for free shipping.

I would be more worried about it eating your shrimp fry and even possible adults.

Still a cool cat and when I build my large Nano critter tank he may just have to join it.

Man, i saw those when frank was in CT, silly me waited until the last day to get some and they were sold out!! I was going to keep them with my shrimp. I think that they would weasel their way into the food.
