i dont know too much about these guys and want to know about them, there is one where i work i keep watching it (they look amazing) and i want to buy it so really i need to know if they are aggresive, as i have other fish and a turtle

I had one a long time ago.

They grow to nearly a foot (12") and will do well in most pH levels above neutral (Natural they live in slightly acidic water). They dig like crazy so sand is definitely the substrate for them. The size they get to means they can do a lot of sand moving, so rocks unless very well stacked and glued together are not advisable. I had a breeding pair at 10" in my old 125g tank.

They are mildly aggressive and you would want to keep just one as they get aggressive to each other if with another.

Beautiful fish though,

Josh get him, what are you doing with your hermit crab?? You should take him to work and turn that tank into a breeding tank

dmuddle

So you can breed the Brasiliensis

jfengler

and you reckon it will go well with a nonaggressive turtle

dmuddle

Yea I reckon to get him so at least there is one in the family

jfengler

dmuddle
