OMG I apologize! I get Stubby's preference....as long as he remains OUTSIDE THE TANK.

I do now get they are BFFs!

Addenda: leave the Siamese loving fish and the gun, take the cannolis and the Phal; eat the former, repot the latter.

I should clarify. Stubby is the phal on the right, Swimmy is the fish on the left.

Stubby is in there to get watered and fed. Ive been doing it since he had only one stubby little root (hence the name) Now that he has three (see pic) I have to start thinking about taking him off the stick, and potting him up. Which means he wont be able to go swimming with his friend anymore.

Yes, he dries upside down afterwards. And there are a few other live plants in there.
