New African Butterfly Fish

[Sauroposeidon]

Picked this guy up today. I didn't want to net him, so I scooped him up in an old betta cup. Well, he threw a temper tantrum and rocked the cup for a few seconds before he tumped over into the tank. Feisty little guy. I need some food recommendations other than crickets for smaller ABFs.












Blending in like a creeper.

Great man! I had an African butterfly fish before in a 125 gallon with other oddballs like a freshwater lion fish, if you ever need help, ask me
What sized tank is it in?

Cool, thanks! Got him in a 20 L with a bristlenose. I'm adding pygmy cories once he gets settled about January.

20 liter! Or 20 long? Even so I would recommend a 40 gallon for the long term

20 long. If she ended up being laid back, I would upgrade to a 30, but she's too temperamental. She hates the new fish and its just them aside from some shrimp. I have a thread about this actually. She's mean as fire.

I was talking about the bristlenose. ABF won't be happy in a 30" tank?

It needs at least a 30 gallon

I need to get one. That is a great predatory fish for smaller tanks.
