my friend gave me a shelving units that could fit 1 tiny and 2 small KK's on each shelf, and there are 3 shelves. so YUP, im going to buy more Ts. ;P ;P ;P ;P
i currently have a 4" B.smithi in one of these small KK's, so i was thinking something similar to her. a T that will remain small, stays out in the open, and doesnt burrow.
i was thinking about justing getting a whole line of Brachy's. do all Brachy's act the same as a smithi?
you have any other suggestions for a T that would fit my tanks?

I say filling it up is a great idea. :}
Brachys would be very cool. Can't really think of much else right now though.

I think he wants stuff that stay smaller... they can reach 7-8 inches... what about C.fasciatum?

The C.fasciatum would be a good choice, Also how about maybe a P. Scrofa, Cool little T full grown at about 3"-4". Here is a picture of mine 3-1/2" at best. Full grown and sweet as can be. :D Greg

B. emilia doesn't look anything like B. smithi. You're thinking about B. auratum.

I personally think they look very different from the smithi...

but, unlike others, I like the albopilosum as opposed to the emilia... they seem to have more quirks to their "personality"

but with the P. cancerides... overall they are one of the more hostile/defensive/skittish NW T's, I have two at the moment, both large adults, one male, one female (yup, breeding project). But, their atittudes are completely different. She would rather back into a corner than throw up a threat display, whilst he likes to fang everything he possibly can... so really, it's the luck of the draw, but the norm for this species is mean.
