So over the weekend I moved my frontys over into the tank with the weir, I'm thinking it's better to use the other tank for the occy and just put in some plumbing that's more appropriate:) I'll have more pics to come for you soon

He's getting settled in at the moment and getting used to his surroundings, I'll give him a feed tomorrow afternoon and see if wants to venture out a little more.

Probably wouldn't hurt grabbin a handful of live mussels every now and then just so he can have a snack whenever he feels the urge to (rather than go walkies looking for something special). Also he'll use the shells to build up a den which will make him feel more at home. Just like a true lounge lizzard!

I think that is wrong, Its the size of their beak. The beak is the only hard part in them. You will see it when it feeds up on the glass, be ready with a tape measure
Also, keep the room lights dim, nothing worse then inking the tank

Hes about the size of a dinner plate when hes stretched out and when he swims around the tank in stealth mode is around 25cm long, he has been getting NW coral prawns and whitebait at the LFS he came from so I will continue with this diet for now as well as taking McGee's advice and throwing in some mussels. Ive also been collecting rock crabs for food and have live and frozen ones.... I will use the live ones to try and teach him to open a jar
heres a few more pics now hes out and about..... i threw in a few YT and hes having fun trying to nail them......
