I have had these two since 4 of them fit in a 10 gallon tank. One stayed in the 10 gallon and never got large. I gave one away at a small size and these two guys moved to a 55 where they lived for 2 years keeping the tank sparkling clear. I finally got a 75 gallon tank and these two and the gold fish you see all moved to the new home.
Their size exploded. They grew almost instantly and now are over a foot long. I am hoping the growth spurt has ended and they do not get any larger but that does not seem to be happening. I really do not want to re-home them yet.
They are gentle giants. They have never attacked anything but the algae in the tank. They are in with a group of Panda Cory Cats, Otocinclus cats, 6 (very much clowns) Garra Rufa, a Cobalt Blue Lobster, and 4 assorted large Goldfish. Everyone has a space but these two out grew theirs. So far no issues but I know if they keep growing I may have to re-home.
I live 125 miles away from mostly anything so taking them to a "local" pet store is not an option. Does anyone know where when and if I want to re-home will take large fish?
