Wartskin, my favorite!

Awesome little guy! How hard to take care of are they? Can you house one with a Toby?

30g / 40g minimum sized tank. Just feed 2 river shrimp per day. It'd be ok with a Toby until it was the same size and then it would probably eat it.

Check out this vid to see what they can eat

They are such cool fishes. I really wish I had room for one!

Was bored so took another pic of him waiting for his prey

He is SO cute! I love his grumpy little face!

Incredibly amazing fish, you are a lucky guy.

This is not mine but looks the same

That has to be one of the coolest fish I have ever seen. Love the colouring

Lol I spent several minutes looking for the fish. Realized he was the white thing that I thought was some live rock. *rolls eyes*

i love these fish as well! very lucky! this one does look like it could be part of the rock, especially against that specific rock in the tank lol. i always thought they looked like ornaments

so do they not swim at all? what is minimum tank size for this species? or does it vary?

They do swim but mainly climb all over the tank. I was told that the minimum sized tank is 30g to 40g. Well worth getting a tank just for themselves as they're great to watch
