a jardini in a 10 gallon?? even though he is small, he will need a bigger tank than that. if you put him in a bigger tank he wil also grow faster. feed him crickets, fish, meat and worms and he will grow insane.

friend of mine has one and he feeds crickets, fish, worms, insects and little frogs. the fish goes crazy for them and he seems to really grow fast on them.
