Unfortunately these fish have a prety poor track record in captivity. Kinda thhe reputation conspics have, they do great, eat like pigs, and one day the lights turn on, and theyre dead.

I've had one for about a year now. Other than having to fish him out of my overflow before I sealed it off it has done great. He has settled into a burrow in front of the tank so he can see everything going on around him both inside and outside the tank. Great personality.
