Nice pick up bro... Just like mine... I got mine about two weeks ago around 3 inch.. What do you feed it? Mine eats live bloodworms and freeze dried krill so far.

I tried some frozen brine shrimp, doesn't think its eating, also tried some FD mysis shrimp, not sure if it's eating. stomach never seems full...maybe cuz i just got it yesterday.
will try to pick up some FD blood worm or if they have live ones.
i have the 10g filled to 60-70% and running sponge filter, if I use HOB it would get suck on to the inlet.

nice pick up man, where did you get that little guy from?

 

[jp80911]

got it from someone local

Got mine yesterday too. Same setup 10g tank hob filter. Feed it live brine and blackworms. Introduce everyday, he'll come around to eating

 

[jp80911]

if it doesn't take FD bloodworms then I might have to go get live ones

yea most likely you are gonna have to get it on live first. Try to get live brine shrimp. They will take that pretty quickly
