Just got a bicolor goat. Any advice you guys have for them. i did my research just wondering if you guys could send some experience or advice on keeping them.
By doing research what did you find out about them? A a very difficult fish to keep alive. Usually starve to death unfortunately within a couple of months in captivity. T
well i found out they need to be fed alot. as well as they like live things in the sand. i cant keep them with shrimp. The guy at my lfs ( who i have been going to for a while and trust) said he would be fine. I feed him frozen as well as copepds (that are in the tank)
I am interested in this as well. I have been thinking about adding one for awhile now. Keep us posted on how he does. From what I understand as long as you feed them a couple times a day they are bulletproof.
IMO they are fairly hardy, the thing is their max size. Bicolors reach a foot, either in captivity or in the wild. Most people's systems cant handle feeding one of those beasts 3x a day.
ok so an update on the bicolor goat. belly up last night. not even in my tank for 24 hours. I am at the point of frustration. in the past week i have lost 2 hermits and a bicolor goat. I have no idea what is causing it. all levels are great. so i am gonna step up my water changes thinking that maybe its something with the water that i got from another shop that i dont usually go too. so cross my fingers with this tank. i am not loosing another thing.
Sorry to hear about that. The beginning to this hobby can be really frustrating. Even when you get things running smoothly it still can be frustrating.
