1. Some species can be hard to get to feed in captivity.
2. They're escape artists, and you'll need a VERY secure lid with ZERO gaps.
3. Many species sold to hobbyists are deadly (aka blue ring)
4. They can be very sensitive to water quality (no shifts in salinity)
5. They'll eat just about everything else in your tank.
6. Even if you keep it 100% healthy, they don't live very long. |
