I am loving my guys and gals more every day. I have 3m and 6f WC Mobas at 4 to 5 inches.
-They're way more active than I thought. I've watched so many tanks and seem really calm, chill fish that oftentimes wait in place. Mine dart around like haplochromines and are super active.
-They "fart" a lot. I've read about float and only feed sinking pellets. Still they all release air after eating. I've read wild caught do it more often but who knows.
-They are incredibly hungry and messy eaters. They have extreme amounts of poo. These are messier fish than any other fish I've kept in the past! including tropheus, haps, mbuna, tang community, etc.
-They dig, a lot
-They're incredibly fast when spooked or want to eat. I have to move slowly around the tank as they've swam into the glass multiple times when darting out of fear.
-They don't mind physical touch - many will let me stroke or pet them repeatedly. I imagine this will continue as they get older.
