My New black

bought this little curupira 2 days ago, it was such a long 18 hours of trip, but this beast has been adjusting really well, as he has eaten a ghost shrimp on the first day of arrival. Size is measured around 20 cm. A very active and aggressive little fellow. Does anyone know the grow rate of this beast?

Congratuation !!! nice fish. I do not know the growth rate but i know that you will not warry about its appetite. Because it will eat anythings. Your fish is about 20 cm, there is some potential to increase the length, but my fish is 14 inches. It grows interms of width than the length. You can decorate your tank with the wood and some plants and many kind of fish can live with it.

sorry to ask, but when you said prawn, is live or dead prawn? do you think I can train the wolf with non live food? thanks

nice pick up

thanks man

 

[mdmuping]

dead prawn. It very easy to train it. In fact, no any training program. it ate dead food by itself.

lovely little black. They're not the quickest growing, nor the slowest but once they hit about 16", they really slow down. in 18 months, my guy has gone from 16" to about 18".
