Treat it just like a bichir with a small head. In other words, make sure the shrimp/nightcrawlers, etc that you feed it, are small enough to be eaten without having to struggle with it too much.

mine is in a 210 until we get a big tank

Ha haha that's funny. I wish I had room for a puny 210 before I upgrade.

Do they really need a tank in excess of 210gal..that seems huge for them..i know they could possibly grow to max of 36 inches but not usually in home aquariums.DO they get thick as well? Mine is doing great but they grow slowly ..long and skinny.. you need to have every open space on the tank covered.. just did not think the tank needed to be that big.. heres a pic of mine..

but that isn't the whole crew ...

We are talking about whacking the gas fire place out and using the flue for ventilation to remove humidity and build about a 5 or 6 hundred gal set up in it's place
