Crabhead

Ok Heres Some Pix.

I used the Washing basket as its really good for big fish.
All the little fish swim in and look at him and then i can also see how he reacts to them.
He has been fine and has colored up to an amazing Color.
He is a Big Softy and his Name Is CrabHead - previuos Owners NAme.

He Likes to watch the Simpsons - They have a 10*8 projection screen and he loves to watch Cartoons. Which is good as he can see the TV from the Consevatory. He can also see us not matter what room we are in downstairs as he sees the cooker from the tank and was dancing to my mum cooking earlier.



The Basket is over 2feet in length so it shows how Big He Is.

He has not eaten yet, but that will change with time and some TLC from Me.

I think he will eat the plants (if the yare real) and small fish.

How long did you keep him in the basket before releasing him?

I tricked him into eating last night.
tied one of my cats rubber toys onto a bamboo cane and let him play with it.
when he opened his mouth to bite the toy i aquirted in a cube of bloodworm, and then some crickets and jumbo mealworms. he ate them happily

I Kept him in theBasket for 1/2 day to monitor his reaction to the small fish.
he ignores them all and his previuos owners kept zebra danios and rainbows with him, and he never ate them. he only goes after fish about the same size as him. so he did rummble with krakhen my 20+inch sailfin plec, for a few mintues bt they are fine now.

so far he loves resting in amongst the plants and has not uprooted a single one.

one thing i suppose is he as constantly entertained by all the movement in the house, and that he can see the TV from the tank and spends most of the day watching that and us moving around.

just been playing with him using a baster and giving him some crickets.

OBTW the tank is a 5*3*2.
