they can be hard to get off of live food. also they can be fragile when young and are also likely to get bullied. they won't stand down when a cichlid challenges them so they will get their fin torn or maybe a scratch or too. the most important piece of info is always give them a place to hide. mine spends most of his time in a cave, and I'm happy with it cause I built the cave upto the glass side so i can spy on him, and also because it means hes not getting picked on by my oscar which has become a major bully recently.
I've had mine maybe a month or slighly over, hes grown from 5.5 - 7.5 inches. After trying him with shrimp pellets and blood worms etc. even feeders and live earthworms. after all the trying I've finally got him to accept massivore. he goes mental for it and now it will be much easier to watch him shoot up in size.
if only my growout datnoid would do the same!
Ps. about the whole hunting thing on page 2, Sbuse is areally good guy doing all that for the animals and stuff but that doesnt really change the fact that he kills animals for fun.
theres no justifying paying for houses to be built for orphans so you can go back and kill them later. you are a very responsible and eco friendly hunter, but a hunter nonetheless and hunters kill living creatures for sport. doesn't matter how comfortable you make them with your own funds
