I have one large black male and one medium gold female.
Large black male is a doofus and must be kept either by himself or in a tank with low filter flow, as with moving water he gets disoriented and chews legs off his tankmates. This buy will happily eat out of your hand. He has a minor gill infection due to him being yanked out of the shared tank and stuffed in the spare tank after his leg mauling episode.
Medium gold female is currently in posession of 2.5 legs (only one totally intact). She will not be shipped until she is well on her way towards healing. She is a bit of a wus and conformationally unsuited to breeding IMO, but I have had her for close on 3 years now and she has not had any major issues other than a few legs gnawed off when I attempted to give her a playmate. She is a chronic gravel eater and must be kept on large rocks or sand.
These guys are to go to good home only, and that means one that is cool over summer(less than 24*C or you have to ice them daily), and at least 25 gallons (2.5') to play in with no large or nippy or boisterous fish (preferably no fish, i've only found two species that are reasonably safe).
I care quite a bit about these guys and won't let them go to just any home. I just don't feel that I appreciate them enough for them to spend their entire lifespan with me. I think they would be best off in a home where they were loved and adored.
