4 inch aro in 300 gallon tank :)

Squid · 14-12-2015, 09:27 PM

I bought a 4 inch aro a few days ago

its been a few years since i've had a small aro hehe.
i'm a little frustrated , so far have not been able to get him to take mp , he's too jumpy , when i get close he darts away hehe.
i fed him a piece of sw yesterday.
mmmmm which will be better? to move him to his own 120 gal? or just wait for him to be hungry enough to come begging for food?

Move it to a smaller tank, for it to be familiarised with you and the food you can provide. small aro at this size should not be starved, to avoid stunting its growth.

Bro dave 57 is absolutely correct on the smaller sized tank for the little one.

Bro squid, looking forward to your upload on your latest acquisition

Babies are always jumpy at times.

yes, make sure u got a sturdy tank cover. little ones are jumpy and they dive through all possible holes...
