Ok lol thank you. Now I've read quite a bit online about how these guys are really aggressive and live up to their name so he is by himself right now lol other than some giant danios and I'm thinking that's the best way to keep him? Also what should I feed him? I have freeze dried krill, frozen brine shrimp, freeze dried bloodworms. Is that ok or should I get some other stuff?
Ehh, is right pellets are best bet, keeps them a little more docile IMO......good idea to give it it's own tank, most will not get along well with anything besides other Amphiliphids. I generally do 2 days a week where I give them minced romaine, red/green-leaf lettuce, smushed peas/lima beans, a high-protein pellet food (at LEAST 35% crude protein) for a good 50% of their total diet, Krill/Shrimp twice a week and an occasional treat like frozen foods. They also enjoy snails, LIVE shrimp, crickets and earthworms as well as meal or wax or butterworms. In the wild, their specialized facial/head design allows them to root through the substrate in search of arthropods, crustaceans, and mollusks, but from what I gather, their favorite prey in the wild is snails. Avoid feeder-fish at all costs for ANY fish you own. If you want to include fish in their diet, best go with frozen-thawed fillets cut into bite-size pieces. Squid will also likely have benefits as well, as long as it is cut into small pieces.
As far as veggies are concerned, I found it's much more likely they will accept them if they observe other fish in their tanks eating them 1st, as I have a FH kept by himself that is not fond of veggies, but my Red Devil is housed in a community growout and has slowly started eating more and more plant matter after seeing how some of the others favor it. it's a similar concept to saying "Look what I got, you can't have any" and even if it is something they don't LIKE, now they want it because... well they are Amphilophus and they do what they want.
