Wondering what folks are doing,

mine took a chunk out of a magic eraser, bit the alge wand, and gave me a full flare when i attempted to move the alge magnet....

anyone tried the chain mail gloves ?

when he gets to his more forever home i plan to construct a barrier i can either corral him with or split the tank...

- side note -

tank mates -

he lives with sailfin pleco - thinking i’m going to attempt Jardini co hab in his new tank - any tips other than the usual - change deco / water change - thinking of some sort of dither ? was going to try an endler colony but i’d bet the jar would pick those off....

thanks all!

Maybe try after lowering the water level for a water change. I know it works better before removing the water but seems like it’ll attack anything.

ya, that’s what i’ve been doing (top half is clean) , he’s not attacked the python yet.... he’s very fast ?

just may have to let the alge go....

watched a youtube of one biting owner... looks unpleasant....

I don't think a Jardini will survive in there Wolfish too aggressive. Like kno4te kno4te stated Wolf will attack anything it's very territorial.

What size is your tank? My guy isn’t that aggressive so I clean the tank without attacks. However he is in a 8x4 tank so there is plenty of room to keep away from my cleaning tools.
