Hi Ian,

Not many members here have reported keeping Tenellus. @MarcW, do you still have Tenellus?

Cheers, Eric

Hi Ian, and Eric.

I recently moved the Tenellus on at the CSG convention. Still have their bigger relatives, Hassar orestis though.

They were still doing well, very active and lived for several years within the parameters Ian mentioned in his post.

If they aren't already, I'd recommend keeping them on fine sand, mine seemed to enjoy searching for bloodworm etc. in the sand.

Good luck with them Ian.

Thanks Marc. Cheers!

The reason for the post was 2 fish moved away from the group and parallel swim for 15/20 seconds.
I hoped it may be significant, we all live in hope.

I hadn't seen that in my group Ian, often one would split from the group and swim about for a minute or so before joining the group again, but I didn't notice more than one doing so.

Hopefully it means something , good luck with them, and please report back if there is any more interesting behaviour.
