i'd just like to hop in here regarding the "keloggi" that have been around. there are some maricultured
SH going around that are being touted as "tank-raised", but are really captively raised in net pens in the ocean in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia. while one can argue that these
SH are captively bred, they really come with the same potential problems as wildcaughts, and should be treated accordingly (long
QT, prophylactic treatments for parasites).
also, these
SH don't seem to be true keloggi, but rather a hybrid of some sort. true keloggi would be too large for that tank.
as a first
SH, i strongly recommend TRUE CB's from a reputable breeder. one of the best reasons for getting your
SH from a good breeder is that they will come to you already trained to eat frozen mysis.
H. erectus are about the best beginner
SH there is, and a pair would be quite happy in the aquapod you have.
