Looks amazing@!!

Omg I love this! So cute!!!!

My sub is about 8 inches, if I go deeper the sub will go above the UTH that I have on the back of my tank.

Thank you for the feedback. One is down, the other 5 are still on the surface. One of those is staying inside the hut most of the time. The other four hang by the bridge more and they dig little holes and sleep there then come out and are pretty active in the tank all night. One, my largest survivor...

Only thing with the oet store is I feel like if I buy some there I'm giving them a better chance of survival than if somebody gets one for their kids and sticks it in a plastic habitat without having a proper set up for survival....yet I have two that died in a good set up, so not sure what's best t...

What is the best way to secure it to the back of the tank since it does not have adhesive on it. I was thinking foil tape would be ok. Any suggestions? This is an ...
