moved these guys into their new 50 breeder last weekend.  Saw they were uneasy and cobbled together a top for the tank, just in case.  Got an eggcrate top wrapped in fiberglass screen on it last night, and a strip light.  Found one of the watchmen dried up on the  floor after counting fish.    May have a line on another pair,  but for right now, this single is going into Rhys' school tank next week.
