..in an octopus' garden in the shade:)
I got 2 small (2 inch) guys living in a ten gallon tank. They will go into a 55 as soon as they are big enough. I am feeding them ghost shrimp, and frozen brine shrimp. I got the water temps at 82f.......changing 25% on a weekly basis. What do you guys think? Will that make them grow quick? :newbie:

THANKS! :grinno:
 
They are not really fast growers, but with a little love and tender care, they will soon be big enough to put in your 55! You can also feed them frozen beef heart (sallys brand) and frozen blood worms (sallys brand also) They will eat just about anything, but make sure its nutrious for them! :)

Genetics plays a big role in growthrates for 1 thing, temp sound good you should be seeing an inch to an inch and a half per month growth-Anne

add some frozen bloodworms too you can try krill and squid also add feeder guppies when they get bigger

yap, if they are great eaters themselves. try even more meaty stuff like chopped up market prawns! =)
 
Yeah I have had great luck with mine and kirll, also shrimp pellets seem to work really well. Honestly my senagals will eat anything at all. My TSN puked when I was doing a water change, and my senegal ate that. Now ive got a strong stomach... but ewwwww
 
I have 2 of them ( 9" ) and they will eat any food you through in.....I have one that is more agressive and has grown faster ( should say fatter ) then the other but they both are great. :hearts:
 
a had 1 for 3 years
i got it at 2 inchs
got to 10 inchs than jumped out of the tank :cry:
not a fast grower
