No, not yet. He was delayed in replying to me, so he said he would send me extras to make up for it. I can't wait!

what ideas of aquascaping are you doing?

Hey Shawnie. I started decorating my tank today. I put some shells in there, and was wondering if you could tell me if they are gonna be safe for my little ones, and if I should remove them once they get bigger? The one shell is a bit smaller then a football, it is one that spirals on the inside. Will the fish get stuck in it? The other shell i'm worried about is in the shape of a circle and about the size of the bottom of a can. It also spirals in. Please let me know. i'll attach some pictures, not sure if they will help though. Thanks so much!

PS. I'm not done decorating yet... LOL

I have 2 Honduran Red Points (related to the convict) which I got from a friend who has a bunch. What I've noticed is even as babies they are NOT shy. They swim up to the glass and won't shy away if you put your finger on it, unlike my other fish. Also, They can be aggressive towards other fish when breeding, but I guess since you have them separated it shouldn't happen. They are also incredibly easy to breed. And the females usually grow faster then the males. Hope this helps!!!
