Recently, my girlfriend and I have decided to take in a orphan fish baby. I'm excited to introduce you all to the man, the myth, the legend, the frattiest fish there ever has been - Carl.
Carl comes from the deep depths of Asian rice fields and has just now discovered his home with me in northern California. He lives in a frugal, but cozy tank. Carl was born at 1 inch and 42 pounds. We are currently feeding him micro pellets until his balls drop. Then we will be feeding him macro pellets. He is a blue-purple color and pulls all the bitches. He is currently 0-0 in his life time as an alpha fish, although we are looking to pump up those numbers here once he grows a few inches.
Although I have been doing quite a lot of reading on alpha fish, I still am left with a few questions that I will take this time to ask you all on this great community we call Sythe.
If I get him glow in the dark rocks, will he be able to sleep at night?
Do fish sleep?
Can fish get tattoos like hermit crabs?
What is the best fodder for fish?
What are the best ways to train fish? (i.e going through hoops, following fingers, etc)
Are fighting mirrors considered torture in the fish world?
Thanks for listening, all feedback is appreciated. Pictures below from when we first got him and the second from after his first football practice
