Ra has some seriously cool markings.

I love the tank setup! Definitely gives them plenty to explore!

Thank you Myaj, I picked Ra because of his markings. I got Cleopatra because of her personality. Last but not least, I got Horus because he was the only one without chewed up fins. But yet, he is the most mellow of the three and my favorite. :( Still can't get a pic of him.
The tank is still a work in progress. I'm trying to make it look more open, but still trying to keep plenty of hiding spots for the knight gobies.

I'll try to get a picture of him on sunday. They don't get fed today, so hopefully by tomorrow he'll be to busy eating to notice the camera.

The one in the second picture looks like he has an almost perfect figure 8 on his back. Nice puffers.
Puffity, puff, puff, puff.
