I have two palembangs together, bought them together, and they were kept together for several months in the shop before I took them home. They pretty much ignore each other, stick to their 'dens', except at dinner time... they love live river shrimp, mussel (dangled on a bamboo skewer), bloodworms... they're pretty feisty when feeding, and seem to like a bit of a struggle from their food. I don't think any other fish would last long in their tank.

They don't do much, but they're cute little guys. Let's see a picture of yours! :)

When I bought mine, there was only one left in the shop. Two of them should be great! I don't have pic of him but if you have (Homer and TeePuff), It'll be great to see!!!

I'v tried bloodworm but no interest... I'll try again!
