Ich halte 2 dieser Schildbäuche seit ein paar Monaten. Inzwischen sieht man sie regelmäßig bei den Fütterungen an den Scheiben rumflitzen. Auch sonst trauen sie sich inzwischen aus der "Deckung". Anfänglich waren beide Tiere fast schwarz gefärbt, nun hat sich eines der Tiere braun/weiß umgefärbt.
Sie fressen alles an angebotenem eher kleinem Frostfutter wie Artemia oder Plankton.
Ich finde diese Tiere super interessant in Ihrem Verhalten.
