I HAVE AN ALBINO CK AND I USED BLACK ROCKS AND DARK BACKGROUND FOR HIM. HE HAS ONE LOG TO HIDE IN,WHICH HE DOES ALL DAY. USE BOTANY SAND IT COMES OUT REALLY WHITE AFTER A FEW DAYS OF FILTRATION.TRY TO KEEP FURNITURE SMOOTH TO PREVENT NASTY SCRATCHES. IF YOU WANNA SEE HIM WHILE THE LIGHTS ARE ON DON'T GIVE HIM HIDING SPOTS AS DRZACHARYUS SAID THEY DO TAME UP AND READILY EAT OUT OF YOUR HAND. BUT ONLY IF HES NOT HIDING.

He must be beautiful and your set up too..i am fortunate that mine comes out when ever i am there.. we have a true bond.. i hand feed him.. he loves to be out and about in the am when i am around ..at night unless i am around he is in his house..he is my special guy..

seriously always go for the biggest tanks. i started my 2 CKS in a pond and they are over 3 feet in just 2 years!!! dont hinder their growth.

The only reason we do not want to go big now is because we plan another room with just one bigger tank..the room is already crowded and later i will set this new tank up for africans and the ck will have his own forever room.

i would do sand, with slate and driftwood. I dont give him places to hide really. He hangs out with my pikes under the driftwood (i have a lot of it) he will readily eat out of my hand. he goes NUTS during feeding time lol. he tries to steal food out of everyones mouth

He sounds awesome..nothing like a CK that is well adapted and happy.. sounds good that set up.. thank you.
