i got 2 nandus nandus and 1 african butterfly and i need some info on them
like

the nandus are small like 1-1.5 inch long the butterfly fish is around 4 inch long and there in a tank in a tank with
1 firemouth cichlid
5-6 comunnity fish( they will be out of this tank in 2-3 weeks )

if you can help me that would be great
right now i feed them crickets and blackworms
i have had them for a day and the butterfly fish IS CRAZY:nilly::nilly::nilly:
HE SNEAKS UP ON THE CRIKETS AND NAILS THEM ITS SO COOL:headbang2
 
I only know about the butterfly fish...I have one and it is great!
Make sure you have a tight fitting lid, they can be escape artists!
Don't keep it with overly aggressive fish I have had my butterflies fins and 'whisker' things nipped.
Mine is eating freeze dried blood worms and crickets
 
nandus nandus - cool camo fish, mine only eats live feeders -get about 8" ambush predatory hides half the time and suprisingly schools with my raph and red tail cuda.

I tried a butterfly couldn't get it too eat- pretty much just stayed on the surface so low lighting and space between the lid and water are apperciated.
