My first GG made me hate this fish to the bone. How can something so personable and intelligent for a fish(almost like a dog) be such a bully? Even then, you cannot deny how graceful and beautiful they are. I tried once again and this time it is successful. Only a few days ago I realized that these fish are really formidable. While I am examining the scales, I found that they are very thick and tightly spaced. They have a very delicate side to them, still. Those long flowing pelvic fins. My catfish bit about an inch into one of my GG's fins the first day it came but it's all okay now.
My datnoid is about 14" and very tall. He is an Indo that has lived alone all his life so maybe that has contributed to such personality. He is active again as of today. No devilish activity, yet. I also have a senegal bichir that is about 16" and is very thick. He is very active during the early afternoons and early mornings. You'll see them in my Public albums here in MFK. Hope the best for all your fish and hope that we both have the peaceful communities we aspire our tanks to have!
