hes in my discus tank, if he gets that big he'll have to go back and be traded in for a little brother or sister

lol, I have one and he does a decent job. Nothing compared to my BNs though and I will have to get rid of him eventually, but I like mine. Glad you found someone to clean for you!

hes been doing great, got the intake and return from the canister filter clean now which i have always been to lazy to take out. got one of the airline tubes clean and the air discs. hopefully he will move to the front glass, theres some just above the gravel he needs to get:) i think hes a little scared of the discus though, hes only about an inch and they are 5" so hes usually hard to find

Mine hid from my angels for a while. They were very curious about him for a while and would check him out--i think it freaked him out. lol. But now he is running them off of his treats at about 3.5 inches. He cleans the glass and rocks well, but has nothing to do with the structres in the tank.
