Anyone own a Saratoga Leichardti or Jardini? Would love to see your pics. Here is mine, I've had him for about 3 months (bought from Annerley Aquarium) and he likes all kinds of foods (hikari pellets, shrimp, bloodworms, crickets). As you can see he is a beautiful fish:

looks awesome mate :D
what size tank is he in?

Rex · August 25, 2005, 04:25:17 PM

Its a 4x2x2 running an Eheim 2217 Canister and an internal Mozoo powerhead. Tankmates are a 30cm Pleco (can be seen in the bottom left on the rock wall), a 15cm Tiger Oscar, 5 Clown Loaches, 3 small bristlenose and 1 electric yellow (lol - cant believe he has not been eaten yet).

I like your tank setup! Nice, clean and simple.

aww how come yours eats pellets? was it always eating pellets?
I cant get my leichardti to eat them!!!!!
I love your setup

Rex · August 29, 2005, 01:29:43 PM

Thanks guys. It didn't eat pellets when I first got it, but I think maybe he learnt to eat pellets by watching the oscar do it. It took about 2-3 weeks for him to start eating them without spitting them out.
