Ditto here, and mine's the plain black horn type, not Choy's fancy patterned one. To TB Ben I go. Guys, don't buy up all of them. leave some for me.
These are effective creartues especially when you consider that they clean BBA and GSA from leaves without damaging it. The eggs of mine never hatch -- they get eaten up in a few days. Though I wouldn't have minded it propogating in my tank one bit.
But mine seem to grow to around 8mm size, then they seem to be too weak to right themselves after a fall. Never happen to the younger ones though. Why ha?

brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.
