Before any one asks those little brown balls are porous and are supposed to retain the good bacteria in the substrate, they are mixed completely through the 3ins thick substrate.

I wasn't going to ask about the balls I promise.
I was going to congratulate you on such a wonderful photo and ask is the loach moulting? His head part looks like it still needs to shed.

Keith ...Fantastic shot ...they shed their skin ??? Crickey I didn't know that . You learn something new every day .
Can you expand on the balls in the substrate , like where did you get them , how much , what are they called ..brand name etc . Very interesting .

TOO COOL!

I wish any of my LFSs would sell at least 1 striped one!!!




Oh well, i love my brown ones just as much!

Are those balls the ADA brand balls, or the Ehieimsubstrate pro?
