Someone asked about the egg tumbler , it was used to help settle the sand I just have not taken it out yet. I filled it with floss worked great.
The coolest thing I have seen so far is how they find their food. They swim backwords and use their fins like little hands feeling the sand looking for the food it awesomes. At first I thought the fins were damaged but after doing some reading I found that they have sensors in the fins to feel for food in the mud, because they live in muddy sometimes hard to see places.

Update 4.23.2012
The trigs are doing awesome! Looks like the alpha female has a tummy full of eggs, her tube has dropped and she is fat! Hope this is a good sign.

Nothing new to add besides the female has really started showing some color. if nothing happens in the next few months i will be moving out 2 pairs to see how a single pair does alone.
