GKarshens Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I have one that is slowly getting skinnier. He won't eat prepared food and I don't think my tank produces enough algae for him. If you have a large tank, preferably with an algae problem, let me know. I will only let him go to a 180g or larger. My 125 isn't enough so I want to make sure he will get enough grazing. If you want to give me something for him, cool. If not I just want him in a good home. I caught him and he is in my fuge. Probably more food for him in there than in my tank. I don't want to leave him there too long though so if I don't get any offers in the next couple days I have a couple options. I am having some trouble with my email that gets notices here so please email me at [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarbear Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Why are you only willing to let him go to someone with a larger tank then yours? I've read online that they should be kept as single specimens or as a male/female pair in tanks less than about 55 gallons. I sent you an e-mail also. I have one that is slowly getting skinnier.

GKarshens Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 Because as I stated above he will not eat prepared food. He needs a tank with more grazing than I can offer him in my 125g. He is also at least 4" already. I find most of the sites that sell fish grossly underestimate the size of tank needed for many types of fish.
