Thinking of one for the new pod, anyone care to share experiences?

Thanks.

i had one,cool fish but very tiny and hid alot,did'nt get to enjoy it very often.
That was in a community tank though,they may be more outgoing as the sole inhabitant in a nano

I had one for a couple years, and thought it was really cool. They are small and timid as Liam said, but when he had a candy cane shrimp to take care of, he spent most of his time hovering over the entrance of their shared cave. The candy cane's needed replaced once or twice a year though. Not sure if that's just their life-span or what.

Thanks guys, how about diet experience?

 

[NateHanson]

They're cheap to feed. I guess because they're so small and inactive, mine would appear to grab a couple mysis shrimp or other meaty chunks each day as they floated by his cave.

I fed a homemade fish goo, and he definitely went for the meaty stuff.

Super easy to take care of and great for nano tanks. I love these guys. They do great in trios (2 fish and 1 shrimp) I had a trio for about 4 years in a 20xh (till the heater cooked em) I replaced the shrimp once over the 4 years. I fed them Mysis, Cyclopeeze, and brine enriched with spirulina (all foods soaked in Selcon or vita chem 3 times a week)
