    Nice set up. Whats that fish in front of the wilds? Very interesting body shape. Kind of looks like a stream-lined geo species.

    While I do consider heckels the hardest of the wilds to keep well you might consider reading up for quarantining new arrivals be it heckels or any other fish. It will saving you lots of hassle and possible lost/sick fish. Really glad to hear things are going better for you and the fish.
