Got this guy yesterday in MI, he’s about the size of a pop can, hasn’t ate anything yet but he has started to cruse around the tank now. I ended up putting him in a 120 wide for now.

Looks gr8t
 
He needs more decor. Get him a nice mangrove cave from PetSmart, for him to hang out in.

Here's my 125g fahaka tank:

Yeah I plan on getting some nice long fake plants like I have in my 405 there like 36" Long in there with some more drift wood. The tank looks like that because I took some loaches out and they were a pain in the ass to catch so I kind of made a mess in there.

cool im getting some ready for him.
 
I would just toss it in right from the bag frozen. He was eating 2 medium sized ones a day with an occasional snail treat.
BTW... What did you think of the store?
 
Please defrost the shrimp 1st. Frozen foods are not good for their tummy. I'd also add some liquid vitamins to the water when defrosting. Be sure to give him a varied diet:

Well actually I didn’t go up and get it my parents went up to Saginaw and my dad wanted to check out a bunch of stores there and on the way back home so I had him stop by this one since I new they had the Fahaka and some small Indos. But he seemed to like it he did say it was a little cramped up in there he really like all the plecos he had and said the guy was pretty cool, the guy was telling him about all kinds of really rare plecos he had at home.
Hopefully ill get up there some time to check it out.

Yea I usually defrost them and cut them up for my rays and other fish. I was thinking of getting some crawdads for him to are they any good for them?
