Hey guys, I just picked up this tiny, tiny Black Nasty from That Pet Place. I’ve never kept one before but I’ve done a decent amount of research on them, so for example, I know they like warmer water and are prone to bloat from feeding them too much protein. What I curious about, and probably concerns me most because it’s so small and new, is the temperature after I do water changes. I did my first with him in there today, probably about 50% because I was trying to balance being cautious with keeping the tank good and clean. Either way I was filling the tank back up with what I know is much cooler water. Does anyone think that will make a difference? At least while it’s so small? Should I use warmer water to refill for the time being or is that overkill.
In the pictures you can see how tiny this guy is, probably about a half inch and definitely very timid. Also he’s in my ten gallon fry tank for the meantime, and he makes it look huge. I’d like to give it optimal conditions while he puts some size on so if anyone has any other pointers about them, please feel free to add any comments. Thanks guys.
