Nice! Rarely seen in the trade; that's a P. angulatus x. lineopunctatus hybrid.

Very nice one of my mine is all over the tank already can't wait to take the other out of qt.

He was sold as these two and also carpenteri. Really wants to come out and explore but the solorensis is not being very friendly. Going to try some rock rearranging tomorrow.

Did you use an acc box when you add him to the tank ? No one is bothering any of my flashers so far. Will be adding the other one and a mccosker tonight when I get in.

Unfortunately we don't have an acclimation box right now(broken). Our qt tank was unexpectedly out of whack so we acclimated him to the Dt. May have to put the Solon in the fuge for a bit and reintroduce him after the refiguring the rock work. Sometimes, nothing seems to go as planned. o_O
Edit- Good news is he ate as soon as we put him in at lights out and he ate today as well.

You can make one out of the little pet holders they sell at petco that's what I did

I like that idea. If we could just catch him now... I have a plan for tomorrow. Should be able to capture one of them and set up the box.

First one is a flame female

 

[jrlevn]

That's exactly what I thought. 2nd one was sold to me as a Hooded? I am skeptical.
