Finally sourced a pair of Borelli

So after having some sucess with my Abacaxis I was intrested in extending my collection. Ive kept most some americans at some point but due to a lack of space am concentrating on my dwarfs at the moment.
When my old unit jeeded replaced the replacement opened up a world of opportunity with two smaller cube spaces underneath the larger tank.

I decided on a pair of Borelli as a breeding project and went about researching the best environment.
Litter leaf and sandy substrate with natural coves and caves was what I found so I replicated this as much as I could.

My pair arrived from another breeder on Tuesday and ive been camped out since, unfortunately for me ive made the tank a little too natural and it's taken me a few days to find and encourage them to come to the front.
Small blood worm finally got the female to come out.
Sorry for poor photo quality but am sure you understand why am over the moon with my purchase!!

Congrats on the new additions! They do look great. I especially like the middle photo. You've done a great job with the tank. Keep us updated on how they settle in!
