Just got my Scobina Pups!

[mareshow]

Pics to come, but i have a couple questions:
1) what behaviour should i expect?
One male and one female, both are in excellent condition and about 4.5" disc dia
2) how soon should i feed them?
3)It just so happens that all my other fish eat mysis shrimp and i think i've seen them eat a couple, good or bad?
4) any advice for a n00b?

thanks for the input

Feed them as soon as they are in the tank (JMO, hope its a good one).
Once they are healthy and eating, feed them what you want (noob too so i wont reccom foods )

Cant wait to see pics... I havent seen pics of these in ages

Hello Marek,

1. After aclimate and put them in the tank ,they bury in the sand for a half hour/or also not...then they will begann to explore your tank....please turn the lights out of your tank at most of time in the first 2-3 days.
2. When they are searching food (blow in the sand) you can feed them or feed your other fish and you will see it.
Both pups love mysis and bloodworms....I think you won`t have any problems with feeding....their last meal was 4 days before.
3. When they eats so early after shipping...Yes, this is really good.
4. I think you made it.

I also want to see a (ore more) picture of them in your tank
And now let us drink a beer.

Best regards Jörg

Just a few of their tankmates and such, sorry for the blurryness it'll go away eventually its just from them sifting through the sand
