Got this little guy/girl about 2 weeks ago. About 3 inches if that right now. We are growing him out alone in our 55g. I was wondering how long he could comfortably stay in this tank? Will probably get a 75 or 90g when the time comes. He already knows us and follows us around the tank. We love him already! The cat is thrilled.
We are feeding every 6-8 hours Omega sinking cichlid pellets (only as much as he aggressively goes after). He has taken frozen bloodworms a couple of times very well. Today I went out and got red wigglers and Hikari protein sticks. Anything you might add? Crickets?
I've got 2 Aqueon Quietflow 50's running, with 2 heaters set at 80. Parameters are good 8.2-0-0-20. I was planning on 2 50% wc weekly to keep nitrates less than 20. Got about 60 lbs Tahitian moon sand in and a ceramic bowl for him to hide under. I want to purchase holey rock for the scape eventually. But he really likes to hide for now.
Here is Shredder. He is shy while digesting his worm. I want him to be spoiled and happy and grow huge! Any and all pointers wanted and appreciated!
