Thanks Alex, I am very excited to finaly have one. If he turns out half as nice as the King then I'll be in good shape!

*Dan, yes you can, just try to get them in groups 3 +. The key for success with them is hiding places and clean water. Also, what I practice is to throw some food right after the lights is off,they become very active in the dark. But once they establish them self, it's not really necessary, I just keep doing it:)
*Aaron he will, I can see he got all, quality one, very good shape
