BGK question

[npaetsch]

I have been looking at a 12inch big and just wanted how active you guys think it will be. I just don't want to buy it and never see it again.

It depends on the fish. Since it's also going into a new tank, it may be skittish for a bit until it feels comfortable.

I have a ck and he was shy the first but now is eating out of my hand. Yours would be way bigger than mine but just give it some Tim. Also these fish are nocturnal so give them a shelter to hide during the day but put it against the glass so he feels safe yet you can still see him hope this helps

My buddy has one and it hides in one spot while the lights are one (by the filter or in the log) then is very active when the tank lights are off. But his room lights are bright so we still see it!

Invist in a moonlight and these guys are sooooooo fun. And the bigger ones tend to get less skittish. Also if u get it used to a clear tube or lean a large rock against the front of the tank they will hide in thier cave wven tho its in plane sight.

well I went ahead and get the bgk. he has been in the tank scene 3:00pm and seems to be doing great. I am very surprised at hes activity level so far as well. he goes and hides for a few minutes and the he comes right back out and swims the length of the tank playing in the air bubbles. then he goes hides again. i will post a picture in the morning.
