Mines about 10" now and I have had a Vittatus prior to that similar care for both

Lots of space, lots of flow, put lights on in room before walking in tank or working on it as they are so skittish and can do themselves serious harm

lots of food and obviously nothing too small for it to eat and nothing too big to eat it

Thanks! How are they with tank mates? And what fish would you say is a good tank mate and is there anything that you recommend absolutely not keeping with it? Like something shiny or darty.
