I just happened to see this tiny guy in my nano tank. You can compare his size to the CC base...(Please, no making fun of the CC base.)
I think he originates off from either the orange or blue Rics I have in the tank. I can't tell as the top of him is orangish and his bottom is blueish.

Worked for me. That is very "cute"!!!

Hmmm not sure about cute, but interesting 2 say the least. LOL I also have CC in my 12 gallon

Hey Skippy,
I don't know if you are talking about the ric being cute or the joke being cute. If you are talking about the tiny tim/tiny ric joke, it is very cute and very funny so back off jack! LOL... o.k. I know it is a bad joke but it is Christmas time, the reference to Tiny Tim, the shortened ric... Timing, its all about timing.

HA HA HA HA HA HA... you have CC for a substrate!!!!!! j/k Sherm, I couldn't resist given your comments in your first post. I'm a huge fan of Southdown or other oolitic sand for a substrate, but I have a lot of friends that use CC and swear by it.

And you shall call him... "mini-ric"

 

[shermlock]

It is the only tank I have that has cc in it and I've been too lazy to switch it to something else. The tank has been pretty good to me so I figure why change things. I use and like the southdown as well, now that I now know "the bag trick" for filling up a southdown tank. Why didn't anybody tell me this before the two weeks of sand storms?

What is the bag trick? I've heard of the plate or bowl trick but not the bag trick.

 

[Jimbob]

Cut garbage bags to lay out flat across all of your sand... then, put your bowl on top of the bag and pour the water into the bowl. When the watr pours out of the bowl, it will poverflow onto the bag and not the sand. Then you won't have as much of a sand storm.[-sonar]

But what do you do after the tank is aquascaped and inhabited? Or does the sand "settle down" in time? I was thinking of using it on my 72g.

 

[shermlock]

The sand will settle in time - maybe as long as a couple of weeks. Eventually it will get loaded with bacteria etc. and not move so much when things drop on it.
