And here's our other new 'baby'
Meet Scooter - my black zebra T. Lovely temperament. Relatively slow moving doesn't hide up much or run away when you enter the tank, but shifts fast enough when there's a cricket on the loose Laughing

He's got rather prominent stripes on his legs black body with a slight silver overtone (looks brown in the pic Confused

) and neat little black 'paws'

In case you haven't guess I'm rather fond of this little fella Wink

He's Eupalaestrus sp Itapua - at least that's the species name given at present, apparently they may be a separate species or may be a colour variant on Eupalaestrus Campestratus.
As far as I can make out they are not too common so I don't know an awful lot about them except that they come from the Itapua region of Paraguay, like 24-27c degrees and 70- 80% humidity.

He hasn't tried to move his water bowl, but every time I change his water the first this he does is go for a paddle! Rolling Eyes
