Wow! I don't know how I missed this thread, but even though I'm late to the game...these guys are amazing!!

That's it...I'm working on my Simo tank this weekend. You've inspired me.

The only input I have is that at John's house his Alpha male simo ended up killing off the Charlie male. Make sure there is plenty of rocks in the tank for the females to hide in because the male will get more and more aggressive towards non-holding females.. he wants to multiply :)
