I really like Anika.
She is extremely sweet and curious, true to the species. I think I'm wanting something that captures the cute, sweet side of her.
I leave them alone in the tank for a week after arriving to acclimate. Just look in on her, below her level. She almost always stayed out and watched back.

Now, my suboc has always been very curious and friendly too, but I think she may have him beat.
Hi there! I'm a proud owner of a young cuty female too.
