My leichardti I bought for $80.00 from infinite aquatics back last December 2008. He was 2.5 inch at the time and now is between 10-12 inch. He eats food sticks, super worm, meal worm, night crawler, crickets frozen bloodworm, market shrimp and scallop, market fish meat like cod, salmon, other live smaller fish if he gets the chance and any bug I can catch and throw in to him.
He lives with a 5 inch diameter Flagtail /Fei Feng, two 3-4inch clown loach, two 3+ inch sliver datnoinds. Temperament is not too bad, he sometimes will push the flagtail around a little bit but nothing too serious, usually only does this when he’s hungry and in a bad mood.
