I finally got a F8. He's about 1 - 1.5cm, looks nice and healthy, nice round white belly and very interactive. Will get pics up when I can get him in focus.

He's in an 18g, I didnt need to cycle, I used substrate and filter from an already established brackish tank. I slowly acclimated him over a couple of hours from freshwater to brackish and away he went.

These are the best pics I can get of him at the moment, he's so tiny and fast an in focus shot is nigh on impossible.

He's so tiny and cute! The little ones really are hard to photograph well.

I've contemplated making a plexi-glass photographers cage to try and get a better shot of my fish, because in tank shots can be extremely hard.

Blue Lagoon. They had F8's GSP's and a Sabahensis in.
If he doesnt stay interactive, no great loss, the Salivator constantly ignores me.

I'm not saying yours wouldn't stay interactive, just that mine prefers to bumble around the tank, schooling with the archer and chromide.
I might consider a trip to wharf saturday morning, you about?

I wonder if the lack of tankmates will make any difference to this, only time will tell.
Can't do Wharf Saturday mate, i've got some work on.
