That's understandable. I was very careful when changing things out for Peanut while Jack was down. But it all turned out fine

2 small PPs: Leonardo, Biscuit
3 medium to large PPs: Kermit Rocketson, Lulu, Strawberry (named because he is red, not actually a straw)
1 Neon Tetra: Stevie. 1 Crawfish: Larry

Congrats on the successful molt :clap: Weirdest thing is that he looks just like my little one, biscuit. She even has an almost identically colored shell as yours does :lol:
2 small PPs: Leonardo, Biscuit
3 medium to large PPs: Kermit Rocketson, Lulu, Strawberry (named because he is red, not actually a straw)
1 Neon Tetra: Stevie. 1 Crawfish: Larry
