IMO that is :D We really dig our Bi-Color he is way fun to watch, tons of personality. Purple Linkia doing well, we are glad that it acclimated and seems healthy. Last but not least our Baby Hippo, got her at Darby's in New Braunfels. They had her (<-just a guess) for over two months and was the size of a quarter we she and 10 others came in. There were two left and she was the fatter of the two (both were fat) so we grabbed her up even though she was small. Eats like a pig and has settled in well, she plays with the CB like she was with the other hippo the day we got her.

Very nice. I especially like the underwater photos you have attached to the back of your tank. I take it you took them while you were scuba diving. A very interesting backdrop to your tank.

1-12hrs depends who is asking :D I (according to most) didn't acclimate long enough so I may have shorten its life/may not we will see. What I do/did is float the bag in the sump with a drip line from the main tank. Total time was just over an hour, don't see any negative signs of poor acclimation so we have our fingers crossed.

They think they are a mated couple, together almost all the time swimming side by side and playing (or what looks like playing to me).

Thanks my wife will be excited you saw that (her idea), those are from a dive trip to Cozumel. She arranged them on poster board then took it to Kinkos and had it laminated, cost about $7 and no one will have one that looks just like ours.
