My two monsters of three. I couldn't come up with a witty name for my scomb lol.
At the moment;
Gatf is 5.5 - 6" being pellet trained, starvation period started on august 10th, shedding new teeth, no interest in any food.
Scomb is 6 - 7" being pellet trained, broke and took a pellet, just once since august 10th but nothing else.
Odoe is 3.5" readily accepts shrimp, tilapia, and blood worms. Pellet training shouldnt be too hard for this guy.
They housed in a 75 grow out, with 3x 4.5" albino tf barbs and 3x 2.5" red tail tf barbs as temporary teacher fish. Set up is a fluval 305, ehiem 2217, 2 sponge filters, and a fluval sea cp4 1375 gph circulation pump. Its set up to have dead zones for resting spots and not as one big wave pool lol.
*squeezes into flame suit*
Initially I set up the tank for the gatf and scomb only until i could get a bigger tank sometime in the new year.
Then came along the teacher fish, albinos first, who only ate food that got blown to the bottom of the tank. I figured they gotten used to sinking pellets at the LFS, so I picked up the 3 smaller redtail tf barbs and they ate from the top which was perfect, exactly what I needed. A few days ago I got the odoe as a present and fell in love with the teeth and colours on this guy.
After searching through the many odoe threads here it seems odoe and gatf only get along when they are young in the wild and live in almost opposite environments. Being as young as it is adapting to the tank shouldn't be too hard for him as he grows.
All fish have been getting along without any signs of aggression so far. The gatf does like to swim right up the odoe time to time though but nothing has happened. Other than that they hover side by side in the current and I'm hoping that it'll stay this way.
This will be their update thread instead of me starting a bunch for each fish and each update.
Anyone who's kept gatfs and odoes together before please share your experiences and expertise please.
