Yeah you should be fine. He is like a big fat teddy bear lol. Very personal fish. He is so laid back that my little 3'' t. aureus was biting and tugging on his fins. The syn didn't even notice. Be sure to feed yours a high veggie diet. Mine likes algae wafers and peas a lot.
I already feed sweet potato/ honeydew melon/ standard potato / zucc / squash for raw veggies + NLS pellets + omega veggie pellets so if I pick one up he should be good. Thanks again!
