Here's a wee video of some of the panaque with their tank mates. Enjoy the video of the Xingu taking on the cucumber and the white stuff on the L330 is just sawdust and dirt:hi:

Thanks guys! I really the part when my larger L418 comes out. It's around the 2 minute and 20 second mark. Because of the size of him and the angle of the glass he looks very evil!:hi:

I'm loving your big Xingu and L600. It's nice to see that the Xingu is just like like my big L190, very intolerant of cucumber and other veg. Is the Blue Eyes hiding or in another tank?
