@Nick Steele Here's a video using stainless steel straws to remove stuff. What's funny is I was talking with one of my competitors (John Yule) who's become a good friend and we both started using the ~3/8" Ehiem rigid tubes at about the same time (late 90s)for siphoning out stuff in tight places. Difference was he kept track of his and I kept losing the ones I 'd get. After getting tired of buying them then loosing them I started using cheap bic pens with the ink cartridge removed. A few years ago I stumbled across steel straws online and haven't looked back since.

@fish farmer :D My guess is most if not all the Xenia in the US is from the Smithsonian. I can remember seeing articles in FAMA and TFH in the mid 90s on how difficult Xenia was and revealing "secrets" on how to keep alive.

Frogspawn just over 5 years. It's never had more than 10 heads on it due to fragging.... If only I set up a tank just for it, imagine what it may look like today!
