Just got a DGC and put him in my African tank, and well, he and my large Featherfin Syno do NOT get along. I was wondering if I could put him in my Mudskipper tank with 3 LARGE African Mudskippers. Or do yall think I should just give it some time and let them find their own territories? I just put him in today. Thanks for any info given.

I bought 6 of them a 3-4 years ago. Only problem they did not stay dwarf too long. 1 year later they were 12". Depending on how big your tank is I would let them work it out. If you have a glass heater becarefull because when they start wrestling thing get broke. Breakers get tripped and fish die...good luck200

Keep him hungry and working the substrate.65G African Tank (1 Ropefish, 1 Senegal Bichir, 3 Spotted Climbing Pearch, 2 Black Calvus "Zebra", 1 Featherfin Cat, African Knife, 2 Upside down Cats and an African Butterfly Fish.

LOL I have been away all day and just came home to this. I am about to start taking bets! In all seriousness though, looks like the Giraffe has found his own part of the tank and no skirmishes have erupted today (as far as I know). I do believe he did his job last night sifting through the sand since the tank was murky as all get out this morning with silt stirred up!65G African Tank (1 Ropefish, 1 Senegal Bichir, 3 Spotted Climbing Pearch, 2 Black Calvus "Zebra", 1 Featherfin Cat, African Knife, 2 Upside down Cats and an African Butterfly Fish.

But, I love me some giraffecat. MBU puffer and a giraffecat in a 200gal is easy street fish keeping and entertaining as it gets.200

Okay, Im about ready to get rid of this thing. It doesnt seem to clean at all but only make damn messes in my tank. Will more than likely be for trade here shorty.65G African Tank (1 Ropefish, 1 Senegal Bichir, 3 Spotted Climbing Pearch, 2 Black Calvus "Zebra", 1 Featherfin Cat, African Knife, 2 Upside down Cats and an African Butterfly Fish.
