So stoked right now!:19: :19: My striped raphael is alive! After at least 6 months without seeing it my gf called me over to the tank, and there it was, peeking his head out of the stump! I've completely pulled that stump out of the water to try and catch fish in the tank! I thought my BGK was the only occupant!

This is the stump it lives in, it must lay on the inside of the large toadstool on the side.

....He could sit in a 10 gal with proper filtration with how much he's moved. I think a 55 gal is just fine, thank you very much.

I havn't seen my raphael in 6 months. I have a fake hollow log that he occupies with the clown loaches. I'm willing to bet that he's alive in there tho. I'll see when I changeover tanks next friday.
