So here is the periodic update on the two little fellas (not so little no more). Definitely not shy ... fight for food with arowanas (no torn fins or tails though).... they do not wait for leftovers to drift down to them - they go for the food. These are as bad as walking catfish - eat, eat, puke then eat some more ... food includes hikari floating pellets (note floating not sinking hehehe) + cricket (main staple) ... no one to buy feeders (in any case, aros are not that keen on feeders for some reason).
Difficult to compare growth since aros are also growing
but i'd say at least 1.5-2 inches growth. Gotta love those super long whiskers
On scientific note, i use salt in this aquarium seemingly without ill side effect on the catfish
Unlike RTCs they sit in separate corners during normal times (except during feeding), while RTCs are always together. Maid says that sometimes they fight - though no injuries or fin damage so far. Anybody have territory issues with theirs pims?
PS: my green aro definitely swiming funny
