I checked my water levels and all is perfect... pH 8.2, temp 82, 0 nitrate, 0 nitrite, 0 ammonia, 0 phosphate, 1.23 salinity
there is a decent flow to it although not overpowering
here is a pic... he is kind of hanging out of the tube

ive read that they slowly starve in captivity usually within a year over that period they will shed their heads a few times grow them back and then perish..

i normally have fish but right now the tank is fishless because a fish got ick so they are all in hypo in a HT tank
i fed the tank today zoo plankton
I normally just feed fish food and every now and then feed zooplankton
