Awsome!! I love him!!! How big is he, he looks huge?Red Devil;1356579; said:I would put him alone in the 55gal and teach him to eat all the different variety of foods while he is in there.. all types of food, sinking and floating type as well so when he someday goes into the big boy tank and there are tankmates he will know to eat everything .. be it food that sinks and food that floats and he will join the others instead of hiding.. mine was raised in a 55gal then 75gal and now 125gal and up.. you can teach him to eat of your fingers.. etc as they get to know you and bond with you.. and don't forget to find out what he was eating in the LFS ..if they were feeding him live food or if he is now on pellets.. and if it is live food write again for tips to get him onto pellets and frozen foods.. here is my boy.. they are absolutely wonderful fish..and mine never hides when he sees me around..Mine is with 4 large severums and a big pleco..all is perfect among them.
Yeah, I don't really want to feed him live foods, if it is possible. Then maybe he wont think of his future tank mates as food. I feed my fish I have now, frozen foods like, bloodworms, beafheart, krill, and mysis shrimp, along with flake and pettets...so hopefully he will get accustom to those foods.
