To be honest I don't know on price until I collect the livestock, even then it depends whether it's classed as small, medium or large Also as they've not had the true Peps in for a while, I can't guarantee getting them. We are working on getting in some Aiptasia munching Nudi's however..... unfortunately this make take a while

How can you tell the difference between true peps and false peps?

With great difficulty

Looks as though a true pep has a bit more detail in his body.

Ziggy thanks for the advice, all taken in - tank coming along well now - getting Peps today and maybe some crabs and snails.

No probs re advice.

Thing is re one possibly having more detail in the body a) that might just be in the piccy and b) that's no use when you've not got the 2 to compare in the LFS You can ask if they are Wurmandii (spelling again ??? ) but they would have prolly been purchased as Peps from TMC and as I said earlier they may be the californica.

Refractometers are so much more reliable and hrad wearing that hyfrometers - invest in one off ebay for about 25 squid!
