sorry, im not 100% on when i got him, may have been only about 5 months, i cant actually remember when i got him. Right now hes in a 180g with some discus and angels, also in there with a motoro and retic. There are numerous neons and guppies that are in there as well. WQ is good, wc frequently.Hes eating like a champ, he eats maybe 1 - 2 shrimps a day and occasionally gets a little talapia every so often. perhaps I should just get some more then, get a little school going for him,
