I didn't have success with my orange linka....it puffed up and then melted away after 2 mons....

Mine died in 3 days...crazy hard to keep...better left in the wild

I heard you need a very well established tank. Not much is known on what they eat , but an established tank will tend to have enough micro fauna of what ever they eat to sustain them. Also I believe its is one linkia per 100 or 200 gallons.

no wonder mine didn't last I have a 60 gal

Yeah they are VERY tough to keep bro. Alot of people say its better to leave it in the wild. Though some have kept one in a 500+ gallon aqurium and live for quite some time. Well if I ever hit the super lotto Ill get one LOL!

I have two a blue and a baby blue. Had them for atleast a year probably more. Moved them from or to a minimum of three tanks. They mostly don't survive because they run out of food.
