Description:
A
fast growing and boisterous fish which easily outgrows itself in a
aquarium.
|
This
fish can easily grow from about 1 inch to about 6 inches in a
year and will eat anything. Not only it is able to
snatch most of the pellets during feeding time, it seemed to have an acute sense
and is able to sniff out all the food that are lying in between the rocks.
An aggressive fish, it has
dominated the tank and digs most of the time even though my tank bottom consists
of coral rocks. It will equally tear out the plastic plants. Although its colour
is quite drab, it seems to have a tinge of blue on its lips as it grew
older.
Likes : Grew at a fast
rate. Robust and eats a lot.
Dislikes : Aggressive.
