Here he is, his name is Biggie, although he also answers to fatass (he was constipated when I bought him, looked like such a little butterball).
And his tank (I reconfigure it regularly since I'm currently low on things that keep him entertained, he's quickly becoming a quick wall surfer)
I have him in a 30 gallon tank, his tank mates are a Raphael catfish (temporarily, holding him while my mom's new tank cycles) and two serpentine loaches that I've never been able to net (I know that they could very well be screwed when the GSP grows up, but I can't catch as they're too fast, too skinny, and they dive in the rocks whenever I try to catch them). The loaches make pretty good mates for him right now, when they're out of the rocks he just tries to follow them around and keep up, but they swim circles around him. There are a few ghost shrimp in the tank as well that he just chases but won't kill. He has a lot of fun with them.
I've been feeding him a cube of frozen brine shrimp every morning (read that I should skip one day/week) and switching it up with algae discs as well. A couple times I've been able to hand feed him the algae discs. Currently getting the stuff to start a shrimp/snail tank, at which point I'll be diversifying his diet. Wondering if he's big enough to handle a crab or a crayfish yet, he's 1 and 3/4 inches.
Any advice on best ways to keep him entertained and healthy/well fed is welcome. I'm thinking about getting a bubbler but read somewhere that the bubbles can get in their gills and kill them, not sure how legitimate that is though.
