Ive been doing my homework but would appreciate any tips for a happy healthy fahaka. Its only 2" so I guess Im not going to put him in the 180 yet, Ill judt leave a few tinfoils in there to keep it cycled etc.. Im going to put him in one of my 29gal and evict some convict cichlids. Im also ordereing a few hundred small pond snail to begin a breeding project. What can I feed him when small ? snails and broken up krill, can the krill be dried or does it have to be fresh/ frozen? thanks for any help!

I see no problem in putting him in the 180 right away. They are very active and he'll make use of all of it, even if he's small. :)

Krill should only be given as a very occasional treat, as it can cause constipation and even death if given too often. There are a couple of food articles in our Library.

And he'll grow a lot faster if you get him in the 180 right away. Trust me, you won't regret it.
