snookie Posted May 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 was he easy to care for ? and what was he in with ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishy_t Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Yeah very easy, I had him in a 500l tank with general community fish, congo tetra's and stuff. Give them plenty of big bits of wood they can rest on (keeping in mind how long they get the wood needs to have quite big flat surfaces). I'd didn't find mine to be the most active fish, but as he had plenty of nice resting places in full view you could always see him...
