I saw a forum for "wilds* but it's not active and Rigel isn't a wild fish but a wild "type" hybrid (domestically bred).
I'm not sure about the best tank size for him? He'd spent his entire life in the breeder's bare half gallon container, right?
Since he's never known a tank, how would he know what he's missing?
Maybe it's a wild type thing, but he seemed pretty overwhelmed by a (heated, filtered etc) two gallon drum bowl. It's like he didn't know what to do with all that "space" and for him it was quite an adjustment.
I don't want to be dealing with constant water changes so he's headed for the 10 gallon, but based on his current behavior I think it's going to freak him out.
It's weird but he seems to prefer a small space.
Anyone experiencnce this before?
It's a good thing there's daphnia outside because this fish was clueless when it came to pellets. He's learning but he's slow. [emoji2957]
OTOH with daphnia he moves like lightening it's funny. By the time the water freezes over I'm hoping he'll be completely weaned to pellets.
