Looks to be in very good body condition too, likes a meaty diet, mine wont even touch algae wafers.

Hi,
I will add that they love snails.

Thanks for the quick replys, I searched the catalouge but could not really say what species it was. What type of snails do you feed??? Do you crush them or feed live??
Thanks again
