For the person who was looking for Schoutedeni, both Aquatic Clarity and Wetspot has them. At Aquatic Clarity, the 1" costs $125, and the 3" is $200. At Wetspot, it says 2"+ runs $200.

I got it for $200, but I am also thinking about buying another one. Is it ok to have 2 of them in the same tank?

Oh ok, is it normal for them to swim around and then sit on the floor like a Mbu puffer?

Mine is swimming around ever since I transferred it to the tank. I mean it sat top of the leaves of my anubias for a minute then started swimming around again. .

Does anybody know if they prefer a sand substrate vs gravel? Do they ever bury themselves?
