It has been a week since i bought my argus and pleuro so i thought i wanted to give a little update....

At first i was a bit worried that the pleuro might decide to have the argus for a little snack, since the argus is a bit smaller, but so far there haven't been any problems.
In fact the pleuro is quite shy compared to the argus, it is getting better, but when i got the pleuro it was always hiding, now though it is starting to swim around a lot more, but it still hides if i make any sudden moves near the tank.

The argus too, is a bit timed, but not like the pleuro, even though it still hide it doesn't take long before it is out in the open again..there might be food coming...:D and talking about food, the argus is really a pig!
It is around 10cm now and somehow it still manages to eat 5-6 2cm feeders
in one go!!... the stomach looks like it has swallowed a football!:grinno:

The pleuro on the other hand, is a much more "careful" eater.

So, two snakeheads and two completly different personality's.
The argus is the "bad boy" whereas the pleuro is more of a "gentleman"
 
Glad to hear they're getting along. How about some pics of them inhaling feeders? :D
