I got them the same time as Jr at the expo because the vendor said they would eat the mold that grew in his tank before it became a problem for him. Since having them, I've had no mold, but he's being used as home base for the babies eating the nasty stuff stuck on his skin from the water or dirt. I'm worried about the plants because they've worked their roots all around the tank and even made a "root bowl" around the water dish. I was told they'd drown if I put too much water in the substrate. I think I'll get him out of there and into a good soaking container for a bit while dowse the tank in hot water. I tried to get him out of his dish, but he waddled backwards back into his dish before i could get it out. I'll try him again after I clean the soaking tank.
Keep us posted on his progress.
