So after 9 months of noob mistakes and one poor GBTA that didn't make it this is my first maxi mini I saw him yesterday and had to get 20$ I guess that's a decent price I started researching and now I'm in love I think I'm going to make this a small nem tank if anyone has any advice on these Lil ones please chime in thanks for lookin.

So this guy wasn't in ther for an hour and the sexies had left the GSP and were checking this guy out now I don't think they'll leave there natural home. Now I just need a nem for my baby osci clowns.

Not much to say really, they are pretty tough. And I agree, a tank for just them would be great. Nice looking Nem. They come in all sort of colors too.
 
i know and i guess they are mostly pretty cheap and they must be tough for people to be fragging them like they are i dont know if i would have yhe guts
 
I love the maxi-minis! I'm planning a "garden" of them in my 125. My first one didn't make it, unfortunately as I went through about a year of neglecting my tank and the bulbs weren't changed, etc so he moved and is now about 6mm on the far side of a rock. He's not completely dead yet, but I think he will be soon. It was a cut one, so I don't know if that played a part. Recently I purchased a good sized red one - about 4" - that seems to be doing pretty well.
 
Any pics ?

When the lights came on at lunch he was on the underside and back of the rock so I turned the rock over so he could get light should I just let him go where he's going to for a few days and hopefully he doesn't end up in the back of the tank under the bottom rocks

Here's my new, red one. It's a little washed out in this picture. He's actually a slightly deeper red. He's on a small rock, isolated from the rest of the stack so he can't go wandering.

I'm pretty sure they won't. Double check that though.

I didn't say it before, but yours is gorgeous. Do you have a picture with the daylights on?
