I have had Mel a couple of months. I kept going to vist the other one at the LFS and it really started to bother me that it wasn't growing. So I bought it yesterday for a ridiculous amount of money, $29.00, and all I can say is that he better thrive. LOL
I am debating on putting him in with the bigger ones, he is so small. But I think they will recognize him as another mudskipper not food.
That's pitiful Jacki! Mel has grown so much and is so healthy looking. That poor little guy sure wasn't getting the kind of care at the lfs that your Mel has been getting.
I'm sure he'll be happy and growing and getting fat and sassy in your expert care.
