I was just wondering last night if the Jardini pictured above would reach its maximum size?
When I got him (roughly about 6 - 7 weeks ago I think), he had been living in the LFS in a divided 2 ft tank. A silver Aro on one side and him on the other. Not much space to move for either.
The staff member there said the Jar had been there for about 6 months, which is why he offered a great price for him to get rid of him.
Below is the video after I had just got home and put him in my 40gal holding tank. Not sure of exact size but I am guessing around 15cm? I don't think he grew much in the store either. Hope it didn't cause damage like stunting?
His diet now is a mix of three different types of Hikari pellets (Carnisticks, Sinking cichlid excel (his veggies haha), cichlid bio gold) and 3 or 4 shrimp in the morning, with another 3 or 4 in the evening (spaced out not all at once).
He also ate 20 SAEs and 3 leleupi when I put him in my 180gal lol. Over a period of two weeks. I love how the Jars take to food.
Im hoping the food will encourage proper growth.
