New Purple Haddoni I got today

cryptics · Jul 19, 2014

Picked this up at my local fish store today. It is really nice! Sorry for the iphone pic. Ignore the new era feeder. It fell in and has since been removed

A Merten I have in the same tank. I have had this one for 8-9 months

I want one badly but I'm hesitant as I have never had one. those are awesome.

Wow that's nice. Thanks for sharing. What size tank do you have?

cryptics · Jul 21, 2014

Those two are in a Deep Blue 45g (48x18x12). I also have a standard 90g that is plumbed into the same sump. The Haddoni may move to there eventually but I am redoing the aquascape in the 90g so put him in the 45g for now.

Nice and looks pretty healthy..
Merten looks nice too...I would love a merten.

New era feeder/grazer, you must have tangs, mine go crazy for that stuff...

My LFS just put up a list of the stock they are getting in today. They have a Merten on the list. Not sure if they ship but pm me if you want the info

My sandbed is around 4''. It latched down in like 30 minutes if that. I kept the powerheads off for about 12 hours to make sure he had a good hold. He was very healthy and very sticky. I lucked out. They usually don't ship this well.
