Size: Approximately 5"
Mature Size: Approx 6-8"
Feeding: Anchor Essentials Catfish Pellets, Anchor Essentials Bloodworm Ministicks, Anchor Essentials Shrimp Cocktail.
Tank and Environment: Medium at this size (55 gal+)
Considerations: Tankmates should be chosen with care as they will eat any fish small enough to fit in their mouths but otherwise are fairly passive. They will patrol the bottom and eat any food that may make its way down there. Sinking pellets and sticks are a favorite of the Pim Ornatus.
