The Reds love big leaves and lots of darkness at night lol. We keep all ours in the basement like Lynn. We tried keeping them up in the main part of the house, but hated how annoyed they seemed by even the TV being on.
And yes this is how it happens. We went from 2 Reds to 5 Reds, 2 Azureus, 4 Vents, and 5 Mantellas.
