I must admit when I saw the little bugger I wanted to smash it on my screen.

If someone has a good gif of a grammerus amphipod that would be even better.

So how are the standard R2K and Deltec spray/washdown systems set up? They use sprayers and brushes right?

It seems like any sprayers would be likely to clog with debris and mineral deposits.

Have you had problems with your cherub? It has been a number of years since I kept one but they aren't too agressive usually.

Anyway, I would try a Royal gramma if I could only add 1 fish.
