Went to petsmart today and saw a coupon for 1$ hakari food with purchase of a live fish so I had to buy one. I then heard a crown tail calling for me, and I had to buy him. I got him a 5 gal acrylic bowfront tank.

He's a little thin and has some fin rot but nothing I can't fix with some good food and clean water.

PICTURES!


This driftwood will go in the tank, it is currently in a bucket becoming water logged.

He destroyed some bloodworms. He flaired and rain away at first then tried one and was OMG and ate a ton! he went around picking them off the plants and substrate too.







and this is the tank while the driftwood is soaking :D

nice, looks like he's overfed. Might want to cut down on the feedings. Is that hikari sale viable everywhere?

Thanks guys!! I wonder how he's going to color up, he shows some red in his fins but I hope he keeps the pink/purple.

@UN - he's very over fed in the pictures. I fed more than normal assuming that he wouldn't know what to think of the bloodworms and that most would get left behind. The little pig sought out ever worm caught in the plants and substrate lol. It was 1$ off not for a dollar. I was in a hurry typing, my sisters MacBook only had like 6% battery at the time so I rushed.

still a good deal, and my baby jurupari were the same way. My two .75" fish now dominate my 55 at feeding time lol

Nice fish!
