Thank you, my LSF sold the smaller one. He’s had this one in there for a few months. I’ll have to see if he has anything small in there, like a shrimp goby. He has them in a lot of his tanks. I’m hoping since he’s had him for months, if he’s not captive bread, then he’s happy eating what is fed to him, and not have to hunt.
With a Marine Betta, would you have any advice on an acceptable size ratio? I'm considering one for a system where the smallest tankmates would be around 3".
Should be fine. My marine betta was very shy and never ate tankmates. I had small gobies and dottybacks in as well
My previous marine betta that I had for 17 years was a model citizen. He never ate any tank mates, and I had tiny nano gobies with him at one point. This included neon gobies. He didn’t touch any of my inverts either. The only thing that wasn’t safe around him were ghost shrimp. If you want a captive raised one, just know there’s a pretty big price difference. A wild caught one should be somewhere in the range of $150-200. A captive raised one will probably run $300-400.
