who has the biggest and oldest BGK

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
These guys are all over the lfs here and none of them really look that great. Can anyone give me some good pointers on what to look for with them when picking one up?
 
I know that they should be eating #1 .. maybe the LFS would let you see them eat.. and there should be no other sickly or dead fish of any kind in the tank.. and if you purchase one make sure you bring it home to its own tank for quarenteen and then be able to extend the time in quarenteen to get it healthy and eating good and stressed free..introduce alot of different foods while he is alone and get him on his way to eating right and accepting all foods ..after some time you can move him to the community tank ..thats what i would advise and this is what i did. And my guy has been doing better because of it.. he is growing and looking awesome.
 
Getting bigger......................
