Nice rocks!
I was a bit surprised to find bamboo in there, mind you I don't know a lot about the plant.

Cute little guys they are Drkenneth. If I may make a couple suggestions. Why no saturates or heater (I didn't see a heater might of missed it). I think they may like smaller caves where they can hide and defiantly a background on that tank ( not just for looks your guys will feel so much more secure). A few artificial plants or more decor would make it so much more interesting for your little guys. What size tank is that?
Where abouts are you located Kingston ON here.

hey thanks a lot for all the tips! i've been planning on some new designs here shortly i will post them. i was unaware of the background security i will definitely do that!!! im pretty sure its a 40?? what does it look like to you? it was sold to me as a 30g but id be willing to bet its atleast a bit more than that. when i put my 20 beside it i would bet it would hold twice the water. its just a temporary home either way. as for the heater i currently dont have the money to purchase one. although my house is quite warm. my water sits at high 70's until i get the money to buy a heater. thanks for watching!

Hard to tell what size that tank is from the video. Measurements will tell you for sure what size it is. Glad that you are aware of the 60 gallon minimum (more is better) tank requirement for them. Defiantly good idea to have them in their permanent home sooner rather than later. Grow out tanks or upgrading when needed is not a good practise as stunning can and does happen quite easily. Get on that heater we live in Canada.
