Damn! I finally got him after waiting for like 3 weeks. The Bagrithcys Majasculus is very pretty and around 3 inches in size right now. Here are some pictures, I will take better ones when we get home.


In this thread I will be detailing all his adventures, habits and goofy life. He is very active right now!IMG_20200611_161511.jpgIMG_20200611_162227.jpgIMG_20200611_161513.jpg

Here are some better pictures. I am slightly worried about some spots around his pectoral fins but he seems very happy and active so far.


Any idea what they could be? He is in a quarantine tank with some red cherry shrimp and I have melafix in case I need to add it.

Sure I will try my best.

Right now he is hiding underneath my sponge filter. He stopped moving and I was scared so I tried to touch him but he quickly scurried away. Bit worried.Now, whenever I tap on the glass he moves just a bit. I have heard these guys are nocturnal and come out in the presence of dithers so I have to see how it goes. The tank parameters are completely fine and I don't think there are any signs of disease. I haven't started trying to feed him yet, I want to wait until he is a bit more settled.
