Just picked up the little guy today, to add to my growing collection (fahaka and arrowhead)... When they're so small what would you feed them? He's also in a 30 gal with 3.5 inch fine sand substrate... Pics to come

Seems to be getting used to his surroundings, except he always darkens when I go near the tank...

If you decorate the tank a bit more, he will not go black as often. Really cute guy! Does he have a name?

As soon as he recognizes you as the giver of food, he shouldn't get so dark
