    They will be the only fish in their tank so I think this won't be an issue. There is currently fry in that tank but I'll have those taken within the next week

    i tried to video the similis diving into the shell in super slomo on the Samsung S10 for you @MariaS .. perhaps set your playback speed to the absolute lowest to see how fast they hide
