now he is going 240 then to 500 but next year I say about 900 gl,I know this is still small..maybe I go bigger.
sounds like you will be moving him quite a bit one thing I have learned with these guys they do not like to be moved. Today was about three weeks after I moved my 240 from my garage into my house and he just started eating again today. The one thing important I noticed in moving him was when i drained my tank half way down he would start to touch the surface of the water and he started jumping and slamming his head into the top of the tank. He did this about four or five times before I was able to net him and remove him from the tank. Just some fyi to think about before you move him.milokai;1383531; said:
Try to keep the level of stress to an absolute minimum.
I'm doing my garage..works in construction so i'm setting up my garage for the future I post pictures when I 'm done. thanks brototally agree with parker. attus are by far the worst monster to move and transport between tanks i have ever encountered. even a slight change in environment can spook a totally healthy attu to death. Be extremely careful in moving this badboy, acclimate for a COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS amount of time if possible, depending on stress level of the fish. Take your time and good luck to you.
Hey milokai, took me a while to post a pic but here he is. He is about 16in.long and he is getting pretty comfortable in his tub ,I almost can hand feed him. Eats 8in. smelts as soon as I put them in,I just haven`t taken the time to get him used to handfeeding yet.
Very nice..16incher. You make me want this leeri more..need to find one. I can see the difference inthe mouth attu and leeri. thank you for sharing, tripletail. good pictures , oh yeah what about the size attu vs leeri.
you'll have to get a picture of his belly after feeding him a smelt. I am curious to know if a leeri is able to hold down more food than an attu.
