It’s been 5 months since these two little beasts arrived. They have doubled their size. Their appetite is relentless. They remind of a pelican, to which ANYTHING they can fit in the jaws on those massive heads, they will swallow it. They will eat until they have a worm or pinky tail hanging out of their mouths because they’ve eaten so much.
What I find so fascinating is that within 6hrs later they act like they haven’t eaten in days. Their metabolism is off the charts, considering they thrive best in water temps of 58-64F.
If you look at the head shot, you can already see the “shell” beginning to grow over its’ head. I have a 3rd arriving next week and I couldn’t be more excited.
We’re going to make a difference with this species, folks. I will keep this thread updated as time goes on...........
