Azul growth blog

[xander]

abt half a week since i got him. still skittish, got some red eyes when he's feeling safe.

Fish: 6" Azul
Tankmates: 10" endlicheri

Development: Tiny trace of blue of the caudal fin

Tank conditions:
tank size: 60gal 4'x1.5'x1.5'
temp: 32degC
pH: ~7.0
decor: minimal bottom plants. covers roughly 15% of the tank.. large pebble substrate on 10% of the tank, otherwise it's a barebottom.
feeding: 1/3 shrimp per day for now, hoping its diet improves as it feels safer, but somehow fish in this tank always seem to be skittish. location of the tank maybe.
waterchange: weekly 50% changes

Plans:
adding plants and pebbles to cover 40% of the tank

he got em from taiwan,which got them from south america i believe,and went to mecry,and now you.

hes always skittish in new setups,but itll disappear soon as he realises you give him lots of food.
he pretty much had a buffet at my house.
