Busy day!
took like 3 hours to do it. removed the rock, then inverts then fish. Fish are OK but seem confused with feeding last night and this morning. Still need to clean the tank. it was raining yesterday so didn't want to get wetter than I already was!

I never had any but they are cool looking and from what I read, good algae eaters. Let me know how it goes, I might consider getting some. Sorry, I can’t agree with the Cowboys.
