so I finally bought a spotted pim, i've absoulutley been wanting one for years! He's in a 55 with 5 upside downs, and 2 gold gouramis and a handfull of platies 10 or so. I think he's stunning, I would've bought more, but I hate to spend 6. on a fish and see it die. So if he doesn't fare well I'll try again. He is active, looks good and seems well settled in already. Not bothering anyone but I think if he wanted he could eat a platy....we'll see. They still haven't had babies
But when they do I'm sure he'll enjoy a good snack. I lost a few a month ago, so i've waited awhile before restocking, today I added a few more with him.
Would you recommend more than one? I'd really like him to be the focus of the tank. It's still bare looking as I'm trying to locate some affordable driftwood, I had a piece but i found it and it turned out to be toxic I think, I cured it and boiled it but fish kept mysteriously dying in a cycled tank.
He stomach is quite large. Do they overeat? doesn't look like dropsy or anything...Would you provide a tankmate or let him be boss? any infor or suggestions welcome? Salt okay?
