they are cool fish
ESCAPE ARTIST!
make sure to have EVERY opening covered, mine crawled up my HOB filter and started trying to push the lid off. so now i have a mesh cover on it.
like pairs or groups
dim lighting
docile but will eat anything it can fit in its mouth
mine use to hide all the time until i removed his cave and now he mostly hides behind the driftwood.
the can get up to 3'
and i feed mine shrimp pellets and raw shrimp and the occasional feeder.
sorry this is so scattered im just tired. if you have any Q's feel free to pm

If you can quarantine them for a few weeks, it'll be fine. Remember new fish tend to be carriers of many diseases so you don't want to risk your stocks on these issues.lordofthejewsjr;2499234; said:
