Hi Lowincwrx, thanks for your coments. I know its a dificult species but as my friend already has it and it was a gift, I hoped that someone could help in how to keep the Sea Apple happy and his few fish safe.
If he tries to give it away, no one will take it for the same reasons, so, it´s a dificult call.

Muchas gracias.
