Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Katrina71]

He's got lots of room to grow. He'll get well fed in that spot too. Been saving that space for one.

Pics like this kill me cause I still have a dry tank lol although I did setup my other Nuvo 10 to transfer the 2 corals I still have into and purge the Aptasia from the current one that's set up.

Kill you? Nah. Yours will be like a centerfold!

Ok... I didn’t mean your prized shrimp when I said to feed him!

Congrats Katrina, you’ll be a good wife to this trachy.

How much room should I have for the trachy? Do they expand a great deal past the skeleton?

Yes they do. They literally melt during the day.

They make all kinds of funky shapes actually.

I’d take him off the plug tbh.

Interesting, I was going to ask for a clearer pic, if possible of the base, I think that is a great idea! ;)

 

[Katrina71]

He's started to open up a tiny bit. The colors are pretty from what I can see.

They have a weird oblong skeleton but want to expand. I’m sure hers would compensate, they are good at it. But they really love to sprawl out and get their mouth as wide as possible.

 

[Katrina71]

How would I remove him?

Opening like a flower. He'll get fed later too.

 

[living_tribunal]

How would I remove him?

Just pick him up, if he’s opening up and you feel his tissue, tilt him forward and try to get him on top of your palm.

He won’t get hurt but you’ll be shocked by how thin his tissue is.

Speaking of how's that betta doing? @Robin Haselden

Update, as promised. Looks happy and healthy. Still not fully red, but we'll get there. Super metallic tail tho.

And bonus, juvie male Apistogramma cacatuoides
