Have you read up on these at all. These are highly toxic and when they die, they can pollute your tank with a toxin that can kill everything in your tank. They also have a very strict diet. And if your tank hasn't matured enough they could starve to death.
Have read up on these, yes, but have gotten conflicting reports...the lfs, a lady I'v found (in the past) to be fairly knowledgeable, assured me that it would keep easily in the tank, and last quite a while. Today he's been mostly okay, last night kept away from the filter---my concern was more for when I saw him passing by the filter, and he's so light that he was sucked toward it...but he seemed more cautious near it today, and steered clear.
All that said, if I'm displaying a naivety here that I'm unaware of, please let me know, as lfs's are notorious for bad info.
