These fish are incredibly beautiful. I've read everything I can find and from what it seems they are generally hardy if you can get them to eat and stay in the tank...lol. I plan on having a super tight fitting lid on my new tank but am still worried about a couple things.
We get them in at work so I can make sure he's eating, but I've read they like burrowing in the substrate. I will probably only have 1" of sand in my tank, will it be okay or do they really need to burrow?
I'm also a bit concerned about the fish jumping and hitting my metal halides and possibly breaking one. They will probably be 8-9" above the water, do I need to worry about this or should I build cover for the lights?
