hermandrum what your friend told you is right. previously i had a juvenile and i just leave it outside in a polyfoam container for 2 months (rain & shine). water greenish with algae. u will be surprised with the colouration and flowers development. some says in order to obtained full flowers development feed more with shrimps
sometimes im worry about shrimp... they have the sharp head's "needle" to kill my c.m after swallow

right guys i scored a big fat FAIL on this one , every time i get camera near them they head for cover , doesnt help there in a planted set-up , anyway a got a couple of shots but none that show the full 7 bands , but some that show the bands to half way on the body , i will keep trying to get one showing the full seven .

nice tank set n combo. bro. i would suggest a maruloides cos marulia more aggresive. however you should get a maruloides at the size of your gar if not it will end up like skareb's fish. swallowed by his banjar red aro
Thanks for reply.
I had got a 4 inches Maruloides 2days ago, now keeping it in a 3 ft cement tank (4 sides are cement, no glass).

Plan to feed him mainly with shrimps, and will do less water changing...maybe 1 time per-month.

Once he had become 1 ft long, i will try to let him join my arowanas and gars.
