Yeah it's crazy how often I see that myself also. I constantly see figure 8s called GSPs. I try to correct them every time but tell me I'm wrong...... I guess there's only so much I can try

Stick with females, if you can sex them. Males will fight to the death.

Hey I have a quick question with my live plants, I have a sand substrate, not very fine though like sugar. I just put the live plants in and buried the bottom of the plant/roots under the sand and they are staying in place. My question is will that be alright? I did a google search and it said your supposed to anchor them so they dont rot? Sorry im on my iphone right now so researching is limited.

*edit*

Added 3 photos on original post.

Things are going great with the new set-up so far. It's a 10g with 2 pea puffers and a few ghost shrimp. Any chance I could try a few small fast moving community fish in here? I have a back up aquarium I could put them in if it doesn't work. Or would my bio-load be to much? Thanks!
