My first fish...in a long time... ery ery

[viking252200]

Hi guys,
I have recently returned to the hobby after a long break and as a re-entry fish I got myself an ery ery.

It's only a little over 3", so at the moment it's in a 20 gallon grow out tank.

Long time ago, I had a pair of malabaricus and they were pretty bold, my ery on the other hand is a wee bit shy...except when it's feeding time! it's amazing how greedy it is.

Here's a few pics...

Lovely tank for ur red wolf. It'll be more active and bolder once it gets bigger.

Getting back into the hobby in style I see. That scape looks great. is that cabomba? Mine always unattached itself and floated. looks like the beginning of a great fish

No problem. Welcome back to the hobby.
Are those the Fluval planted Volcanic ash pellet substrates? I Have them in my 75g and my plants took off like rockets when I started it up

No, the substrate is called "aqua soil".
It's just a generic brand here in Japan.

Just a quick update on my ery ery...
It has grown about an inch so far on a diet of shrimps, and hikari carnivore pellets.
As some of you said, it's getting bolder and more aggressive to the point where I do watch my fingers.

Unfortunately, my aquascape is in a bit of disarray...
The wee rascal keeps uprooting my plants... not on purpose I think, it's just that he's not the most elegant of swimmers....
