[QUOTE="Jenniferinfl, post: 197360, member: 37398"] LOL, yeah, I've never been a fan of C. darlingi, as they are just ridiculously fast and spook so easily. But, my spouse loves them so we got one again last week. I'm a little overcautious, so we rehoused it with both containers inside a plastic bin, inside a bigger plastic bin, inside a bigger cardboard box. Before we even touched it with a paintbrush to nudge it into the new enclosure it had teleported over both bins and halfway up the box where it paused for just long enough for me to catch it in a catch cup. Mine is just a 1" in a 4" AMAC box. Once it clears 2" or so, I'll put it into it's final enclosure, likely a 5 gallon or so. They aren't too bad for feeding and maintenance, just feed them first THEN mess with water, but, I hate rehousing them. They do look pretty awesome, great feeding response and just grow like weeds, so, plenty to redeem them. They are pretty dramatic in person for sure. :) [/QUOTE]
