vampire tetra

[pufferking]

anyone have one of these guys? i just picked him up. he is pretty small so i have in a ten gallon quarentine tank and will move him to any emptey 125 gallon. although i hear they can get large i have also heard that they never make it past 9 or 10 inches.

Be sure to keep your tank highly oxygenated... I suggest using a powerhead to create strong fast current flow. :) GL!

i am going to be putting a power head in his bigger tank

Cool fish but boring as hell! I had my two in a 135 by themselves and ended up moving them to a 40 breeder since the 135 always looked empty! Most of the time they sit in one place, twitching. Have grown to about 6" in a years time. I feed freeze-dried krill that they take from the surface and small pieces of silversides I feed with a "feedstick".

Yeah but in captivity they die before getting that big.

They do look realllllllllllllll scary though.

i'll take some pics when the lights are back on tomorrow, perhaps tomorrow. you cant really see anythign cool until they attack with the fish in their mouth, then you can see their two lower fangs.
