Thanks everyone, I'll try to redecorate him tank a bunch ans see if it helps...

Yup, I tried 2 different backgrounds and no background, doesn't change anything, I think he has a one track mind and the plan is to leave out the back of the tank
I'm going to get him more tank toys/plants/rocks tonight and hopefully that will help...

Good idea,
I'll try adding a few more plants and rocks where he paces...
Thanks!

She has a fifty right now, she upgraded from the 35 mentioned in my other OCD post especially for the porc. Her plans are to upgrade again when he reaches 5" (he's 3-3.5" right now) or put him up for adoption if she can't afford to upgrade. She was able to do a quick fix upgrade because th...

That's what I thought, I would put the clam in my daughter's tank but she doesn't have the right lighting
That's his favorite food right now, still working on raising snails but the supply is really low right now in this area.
My daughter has a porc and a saddled toby, would he be ok with them?

I was wondering one more thing, I have a 75 gallon reef tank with a couple of clowns, 5 chromis and 4 cleaner shrimp, what risk is there of putting my 2.5" GSP in with the gang? He seems to have no interest in the 7 ghost shrimp in his tank so maybe he won't bother the cleaner shrimp?!? :? I al...

My 2.5" GSP has been pacing up and down the back left corner of the tank for a few days. We moved him from a 10 gallon temp. tank to a 35 gallon well decorated tank, plenty of rock, wood, and plastic plants and he still does the same thing, same back left corner.' Water: amm and trites 0 trates...

Yes he's a GSP, so I guess 3" is not his full size huh?
by the way, I'm a "she" weez ( Louise ) is a nickname I got from my nieces

I finally got him measured by comparing to a tape measure, he's 2.5", is that considered a little tike?

OK Thanks, I'll cut down on the mealworms, is 2 worms a week ok?
I just needed some variety until I can get a source of snails. He loves the stomatellas but I only have so many and since I've taken out 2 from my tank the rest are hiding!

I knnow this is a fairly old post but I was wondering about this: "chrysalis" = a stage in the metamorphosis of an insect where it is in a hard case and does not move. The transition state between the worm-like mealworm and the beetle stage. Would it be ok to feed a GSP the beetle version?...

by the way, Spoot, I'm a she, Weez is a nickname I got from my nieces and nephews, when they were young, they couldn't pronounce Louise

yup, we do have a porc, he's my daughter's, an impulse buy but now that she can't live without him she'll have to upgrade once again! She just bought a 50 gallon about 3 weeks ago to accomodate the little fatty. last week he was 37 grams, 3.5", how big can he get by this summer? Anyways, not th...

First let me explain the situation in our house, We have 6 tanks running in our house right now, sizes run from 5 - 75 gallons, 2 are saltwater display tanks, 50 and 75 gallon, 3 are 10 gallon and one 5 gallon. I decided to use one of the ten gallon QTs to start a brackish tank for a way too cute GS...

I forgot to tell everyone.... he's pooping!! woo hoo
