OMG...not the butt fish. I have one in my tank. Or should I say "had" as you know that they look just like worms and hedgehogs are insectivores by nature...which breathe mints are reef safe? :P

well as promised here is my tank pics of the species tank. I will keep you posted with a pic on the offspring of the new puffer and angelas gonad eating butt fish. I am scared to watch. I did notice it is egg based and the egg was laid in the species tank shown here

notice that pendant halide with the nice ripple effect that is a 40k bulb 3000 watts (I think that was the reason for the early issues with them in the tanks) and also algae only covers one wall I think that has to do with the monkey he won't let cleaners on that side of the tank. If you will also note that the hog is in the ball designed by nasa it keeps the hedgehog with air. Problem is monkey gets ticked he throws stuff at is and makes it difficult to see the hedgehog. Making for lotsa cleaning.

You mean this thread is open again?

I did, however, like it with my sick sense of humor.

Did you get those little monkeys SCUBA gear, Nit?

We don't condone using livestock to acclimate a tank on RC. See the Resposible Reefkeeping forum for details.

He just swims up for air.

I've also heard water buffalo are good for setting up a 60g tank??? anyone else heard that?

I think mine mated, How do I know what the eggs look like?

This has got to be nominated as a tread of the month, anytime I need a diversion from work etc this always brings a smile

Here's is a pic to help identify the eggs.

I almost forgot about this thread. I am sad to say that my hedgehog species only tank crashed a while back... I guess I had new tank syndrome...

I hope everyone else has better luck.
