88browny Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I swapped it for a 5x2x2... but they are $180 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayPee Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Thats a fair price for sure. They always pop up for cheaper when you don't have the tank space. (as does every fish) I did get mine a bit cheaper due to it being a trade in on other fish so i got it for $130. I would love a couple more but so much going on i need to concentrate on what I've got going on. One day one day. How's yours going 88B ?? Eating lots i bet. You would of noticed a change of size already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayPee Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 When he gets bigger don't over feed them on banana. I fed Walter a fair bit of banana one day then no poo poo. So fed him the normal vege time to clean him out again. He was not himself thats for sure. Just make sure you get photo's and regulary. I like looking back at pics of mine when he was even smaller than yours. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syndicate Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Mine loves cherry tomato's dropped a couple in last night and my toga ate two of them lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayPee Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Walter had half a dozen frozen strawberrys tonight. I have fed cherry tomatoes aswell. If your can find any fruit that is on its way out that the family won't eat chop it up and throw it in. Gouramis love it. So far i have fed Walter Strawberry, Banana, Peaches, Nectarine, Cherry tomatoes, Peas, Mango, Kiwi Fruit, Grapes, Zucchini (stole it off the pleco) all of these he loved. I fed carrot once but he didn't like that so no more carrot for him. Doing this will save you big time on feeding cost cause when they get big they can and will eat lots. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
