CUC

 

Also, I found out that orange Rics can live up to 4 days without water. My nephews (both CC grads /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif ) did my rocks and failed to see the rics on the bottom rock in the 2nd picture. They are pissed but open and alive!!/DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/crazy.gif

 

They are to help move water from the back of the tank.
