Default Platystacus Cotylephorus 2012

My new banjos - eel tail.

Sold my 2011 pair as they were too 'docile'.
Now, these 3 fellows are kept with Ranchus so every thing is good so far.

Initially, I was worried if they will lose out to the ranchus during feeding time.
I was wrong, big time, the Ranchus don't get a chance to feed until the banjos are done, they were better vacuum cleaners than the goldfish.

The females are much bigger, about 8", from an earlier batch.
The male is only around 4". Got him just after National Day.
