Hi all, I'm just writing this because as I am preparing to cycle my tank for a lotl in July, my breeder I will be purchasing from gave me her full stock (as of now) that she is willing to sell. One that I am interested in is a dwarf.
I am fully, 100% aware that this guy or gal is going to be pet only. I have absolutely no plans to breed if I purchase the dwarf. What I do want to know, besides the obviously shortened lifespan, are what health complications are possible and if it would be worthwhile for me to give this guy a big 40g home so they can live in relative comfort.
I am totally open to both encouraging and discouraging opinions, as I'm mostly just gauging how much extra work I would potentially need to put in to ensure this guy has a happy life.
Thanks so much in advance!
