I'm really happy about how he's feeding though, so I'm not worried about him.
He's just so darn cute and I want to make sure he has the best of it all (I guess that's what comes with being a fish enthusiast
). I have gold ck in the same tank with him, smaller almost than he is, they're both doing well now, but I've heard it's not good to keep them together
. I know they'll need seperate tanks when they get older, but a 30 long should be ok with them at 3 inches right now right? I figure a 280 gal for the ck and my 2 o's, and a 55 for the bgk. If it needs to be bigger I'll get it. Let me know what you all think
It sounds to me like you are advanced hobbiest and as long as you know the long range of the future and can accomidate your ahead..sounds like perfect set up now and then ..possibly bigger for BGk later because they do grow big .. and being you have researched well i am sure you will know when he needs to upgrade..
Luckily, my family is totally comprised of mfk's, including my grandparents.
