also add some heater guards, they are clumsy big fish, can burn themselves!

^^I agree
Or try to hide under/behind the heater

Yup, I do...sometimes they jostle a bit for hiding space, but nothing serious.

Hey, nice pick-up! Got my first one about two months ago. Neat fish, but they don't do a lot. The only time I see it move is after the lights go out. Seems to be a good feeder, any sinking food seems to be eaten: flake, algae wafers, bits of shrimp and mussel, bits of krill, etc. I am not sure but it may have eaten my Siamese Algae Eaters, the Megladoras was about 6", the SAE were less than 1", so it may have eaten them at night because they are sure gone. BTW this one was $20.

I kept mine since it was 2 and 1/2" and now it is already 9" the growth rate is consider still reasonable and it was shy at 1st but when other of it other own kind..eg niger ... it will come out together and eat even with light on. I like it body..seem like prehistoric and thick too...they eat almost any kind of sinking pellet...
