N1CK Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 A loooooooooooong time :lol: , depends on how big all your other fish are. anything about the size of the average tetra will eventually become food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oO SKIPPY Oo Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 hmmm - no small fish in the tank - all over 8 cm (including tails) - i like the look of the bgk but just want to make sure the temprament of them will go ok with the others A loooooooooooong time :lol: , depends on how big all your other fish are. anything about the size of the average tetra will eventually become food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 aslong as it has a nice big log to hide in it will be happy, being nocturnal it will be a nice addition to your tank. They are wicked fish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oO SKIPPY Oo Posted February 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 no logs but i have put some rocks together to form some small caves - that should be ok aye ? aslong as it has a nice big log to hide in it will be happy, being nocturnal it will be a nice addition to your tank.

Charlie Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 general rule of thumb, aslong as it covers the fish or it thinks it is covered then it will be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oO SKIPPY Oo Posted February 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 if i get one i might look at getting some old guttering and cover that with sand etc so it blends in to the tank and then it could also use that now where to find one in wlg.

Scottie841 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 You could get a clear tube for him. They think that they are hidden but you can see through it. Another option is to lean a bit of wood up against the front glass and he will hide from the other fish but you will see him all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oO SKIPPY Oo Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 THE WIFE IS GOING TO KILL ME !!!

Fmxmatt Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Great fish, I've had mine about a year, he's about 20cm now Used to hide all the time, now he'll come out quite often during the day, especially when theres food. Hangs around wiht my Blue Dempsey. Love watching them eating, swimming backwards/upsidedown etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
