News on that baby GSP...he died a couple days ago and apparently had a huge tapeworm of some kind. Could an IP cause the sort of blind behavior he was showing?
To puff, or not to puff...

When I worked at a LFS, I would put a clear plastic garbage bag into the box I was packing rock into and then wrap it with tank water soaked paper towels, then dump more water over it so capillary action in the paper towels would keep it continually wet. I also left only a bit of air in the bag when I knotted it. It seemed to keep the stuff in good shape.

Stupid question: but GSP wouldn't work with a clean up crew with like cleaner shrimps and snails and hermit crabs would they. Would they work with most saltwater fish?

I believe you have small mud puddles mixed up with acres of rice paddies.
