all im going to say about this is dont get this fish unless you have an established tank of decent size,or you know for fact they eat prepared.these fish are known to have worms,are known to not do good if not paired,and dont normally eat prepared foods.ive tried like 3 different times,twice were pairs and one was single.they would actually eat around food id stick in the tank,mysid,brine,formula one frozen and pellets.the only thing i could think of is that they were wild caught fish.....not to mention theyre known to not eat prepared food.just my experience.
