That's right, bro. Now just sort of QT them alone in the 6ft without any other aggressive tankmates. Would definitely need more guidance and tips on this fellas...especially newly imported.

Trix, few pointers from me :
- provide more hiding places eg caves, additinoal driftwood
- avoid putting in tankmates,
- " some said " hard and slight acidic water ! you need to confrim this.
- install a powerhead to generate slight underwater current.
- go easy on the feeding and go easy on the % of weekly water change.

Thanks for the input, bro! Really appreciate that...from a look, seems like they never eat at all but on the other hand, all look ok too...really need to pay more attention on their diet requirement.:confused:

Xantos are really nice... like little gold bars... What is the smallest tank that I can comfortably house a colony of 6?

WOW - that set up is superior.

I agree with Akoh, more wood, bigger river boulders, I beleive chubbies predominantly vegetarian with a small amount of crustacean.
