i had him for almost a year in May... i got him when he was a baby.... with 12 others... lol... he got 8 of them eaten 1 at a time... as he/she was always the biggest one... but i would like to buy a female of the same age or buy a male and a female from someone that knows their genders for sure...
sh*t.... he's fast as hell and he doesnt like attention.. so he hides in his cave that i made up for him... when he was smaller... he's starting to out grow it but he still goes into and under it to hide or sleep when me or people are in my living room... lol... i'll try to post a vid...
i jus tried to get him out but he wouldnt i damn near took the cave out the water with him in it... imma change it to where he has no where to hide... he gettin to old for that sh*t...
Definitely doesnt like being watched huh? I would go out and purchase 2 more of the same size. These fish are use to hanging out in groups so yours will probably feel better with some tank mates. Also, you could put a bunch of fake plants in your tank since its pretty bare right now. Might make him feel a little more comfortable
word thanx... i will do that and add some plants.... but on purchasing like 2 more... i want to be sure of the gender of the 2 that i buy... i want them to be 1 male and 1 female... being that i dont know what the one i have now is??? can u or do u know anybody that can help on that????
I noticed your substrate is made up of rather larger rocks. Personally I would get rid of those as they tend to trap food debris and can throw your water parameters out of wack. Instead you can use playsand from Home depot or you can buy small aquarium gravel. If using the playsand make sure you rinse it thoroughly until the water runs clear.
