Post by wingor »

Regarding this fish, do they have huge appetite? Are they highly vulnerable to white spot disease? For those who have experiences keeping this fish, please feel free to share yours.

The i've had was a moderate occasional feeder & did not require large amounts of food, just a decent meal once every 5 days or so.It grew well & was in great health, so i cannot say if it was more susceptable to whitespot than other pims or even other fish in general

I agree with Richard...right on.

The only drawback is as they get large they lose their attractive juvenile pattern.
