True but must be careful of steering away from flakes or floating pellets. Also no feeders or tubifex!

If using beef heart, beef, mps be sure that they are all eaten or can leave to fouling of water and losing your collection!!!

No feeding of beef due to my religious restriction. Pellets will still be priortize for main course, mp will only feed upon the remaining balance for my Arowana

Yes a fengshui pentagon tank 4' x 4'(w) x 2'(H) , suppose to sell off through auction but very last min, the winner unable to collect due to his CO story but steady enough to pay me the bidding price.

If the fronts going to outgrow, I will convert my 5 footer tank to accomodate them.

Bro, suggestion for your set up. One way to get deeper coloration is to use a darker background or base. The mblues look kindda "puchat" or washed out due to the light background. I had that problem before and when I changed to black background and sand thier color deepened and your fishes show better. Since your is a mixed collection of burundis and mblues then you change either the background or darker base.You will see the difference.

Also use ont ube artic blue and the othe other white. Lights should have individual switch so you can play about with the colors (MTCW)
Btw you tries using ghost shrimps?
