What size is the tank and what else are in it?

As Lupin will probably tell you in later posts, they should be in groups of 5 or more . Also as he will say, they have the potential to grow to 16 inches long and like a snail supplement in their diet. I believe most grow somewhat smaller( like 11 inches, I've never kept them myself so I don't know for sure), but he'll tell you later.

Get a few more, read Ewurms food blog, and if you clean your glass they will look even better.

buy more they need to be in groups they will be much more active they get deppresed when by them selfs

can get big like said but are very slow growers so it would take many many years for it to get over 12'' like 10-15 years
