Ah ok if that is the one i have no answer to it as i only have a pair. Currently they are separated into individual foot-cube net cage. They appear to hang around near the ground and prefer smaller food that's all I know for now. <_<

First off, I'm jealous as always!

Its great to see you doing so well in the hobby again. Really liking the H. brunneriana and T. graminis.

If you ever want those B. borealis ooths back, feel free to shoot me a PM.
