It is 3M Colourquartz S-Grade Peach & Black mixed together, it may be very hard to find because it is discontinued by 3M.
It comes in 50lbs bags, and the black is a pain in the a** to clean!! Turned our hands, and bathtub black!!
It comes off though, in time. lol, if you do find some be sure that it is S-Grade it's very soft and smooth and T-Grade is really coarse. If you find some it should be discounted pricing though!! We got ours for $20.00 a bag

Mine doesn't much care for people that don't smile or actually people in general LoL Prefers females.
Puckers up his lips if he likes you and turns black and sinks to bottom if he hates you! ... Moody bugger!

She doesn't burrow too much, she's burrowed herself two-three times maybe since we've gotten her.. which was probably at the beginning of March - mid March. Then again we are not home all day so she could be burying herself and we don't even know it ! :P .. That's neat that yours actually shows you who he likes and doesn't like :D

Hmmm Im actually looking for a Orange Saddle. Ive seen one once at the LFS but never again. They love to burrow! Yea my fahaka will definitely let you know if he likes you or not LoL Lately he hasn't even given me the time of day but thats because he hasn't gotten a cray in a while and i changed up his seafood mix a bit...
Have you ever fed you lil guy any baby crays or ghost shrimp yet?

She's about 2.5 with her tail. Her vision needs a bit of work, we have frozen raw wild shrimp and she'll see it at the top of the tank, but once you let it go sometimes she'll miss it.. lol .. getting better everyday though! We've also had lots of marbled cray babies recently so she'll be loving those once they get a little bit bigger! :)

hahahahahaha LOL!! My buddy had a fatcat.. It was about 25 pounds when it decided to commit suicide... Think it was self conscious.. It use to kick the .... outta the neighborhood dogs!

So anyway, shes growing quite kick eh?

Fata$$ had a growth spurt last summer from about 9-12"s and hasn't really grown since at all. I'm thinking he's done for that. Would love to get a bigger tank for him if i had the room! :(

Awesome! o.O you have an MBU... :O I seen a few at LFS. One had an eye missing that the other had ate cause they are S.A.M.R.T ... and put em together.. one being about 5"s and the other 4"s. Very sad! Don't those MBU's need like 500 gallon tanks? I hear they can get a few *feet* long!
