Do not overfeed. Keep water perimeters clean

I kept it from 6" t0 12" before I sold mine.
well vertical is norm stress. esp in bare tank. put some drift wood big ones where it can sit below it . so call sheltered. it will be more calm. tig dun really like to swim. only when dim lights or off lights, it will start hunting If u really like always swim ard kind. will be lince or vulture cat sort of. those love to comb tank for food. |

Thanks for the advise. I was feeding them till bloated almost everyday!
Will cut down... Yes i think again now, it should be stress. Got alot of scary fish in the bottom. Thats y it dont go down. I will try to move it to another tank once it grow bigger :-) |
