ok jarrick, u got plenty of space for pacman. will my pacman be stunted in the growth if it remains in 2ft all the way ? when it grows further i will remove and re-arrange the furnitures inside so more space for him. plan to change pebbles substrates to black sand which i have, so he can live more comfortably. let him burrow himself under sand once in a while.

I think its ok for them to remain in the 2ft for now as they don't really need bigger space to swim around and grad that you are changing pebbles to black sand..

Hi Ben, it should be a really interesting video. Looks like they are doing the dance again. But I can't watch it smoothly. They are intervals every few seconds like it's trying to upload still. It will take ages if I want to finish the whole video.

How big are they when they spawned?

As mentioned before I changed the base of my tank from pebbles to black sand. This small project went on last Saturday. Exactly 4 weeks after pacman arrived.

Below are pictures of him climbing and resting on the stone in the large basin. So cute but not for long, after only about five seconds of lying still I took no chance and put him back in water. Worry that he won't know how to get down by himself and risk no oxygen.

I didn't notice actually how he climbed, should be wiggled himself up the stone as water level almost same... but I don't think he can wiggled himself down back to water though.
