Dwarf giraffe

Post by Chrysichthys »

I've just got an Aspidoglanis (not sure whether guttatus or macrostoma). I could have had two, but they were fighting like crazy, so I just got one; and I see the Cat-elog says they're territorial.

Any advice would be appreciated, especially how predatory. I'm hoping to keep him with
debauwi (full-grown ones) once he's out of q'tine. Right now he's no bigger than them, but I know that won't last.

It didn't take long for him to start feeding.

They should be safe with fish their own size or bigger. Mine's with <i>Microsynodontis</i> (these are the true batesii and are fairly large), and a small <i>Pseudopimelodus</i>. No problems whatsoever.
In fact, the Microsynos are more territorial than it is.
