Great, I was hoping that would be the case. Can't wait to see how this guy looks when he starts to reach 4"+. Is it safe to Siphon the tank as he gets older? I can't find anything online on how to properly clean the substrate in a p tankIf he’s already eating pellets, I’d keep him on that. As he grows, you can upgrade to massivore or the carnivore sticks. You can always give him fresh/frozen filets as treats, but it will do fine on pellets.
I’ve only personally had a red belly, but never had any issues vacuuming the gravel. I know serras can be a bit more bold so make sure to watch your fingers…Great, I was hoping that would be the case. Can't wait to see how this guy looks when he starts to reach 4"+.

It will all come down to the personality of the P, some will be more bold than others my old elong without a doubt would take a finger if given the chance where as my red bellies are afraid of their own shadow. If you are worried at all you can buy a longer siphon hose so your hands don't have to be in the tank or depending on your tank size a divider to keep the P at bay but at the size he is now there's nothing to worry about for a long long time (Rhoms are sloooow growers)Great, I was hoping that would be the case.

Maybe it'll get used to my hand since I'm always dropping pellets where he hides and constant siphoning of the gravel lolI’ve only personally had a red belly, but never had any issues vacuuming the gravel. I know serras can be a bit more bold so make sure to watch your fingers…
