For those of us that are using tanks for our asf's. I purchased the lixit water bottles for my asf's awhile back, I didn't think they could climb the bottle because of the shape, WRONG!!! They chewed the little plastic nipple off that's used to hang the water bottle. I found some 10oz bottles on-line for a good price and devised a way to prevent them from chewing the plastic. I hope others that are in the same boat find this useful.
