Put it in low to medium light and in a high flow area. if possible in direct flow. Also feed cyclopez or other micro food. Mine is oped almost all day long. I have mine directley in front of a powerhead about 12 in away and it loves it.

And you do realize they are not photosynthetic and require alot of food to survive. Feed them every night. And make sure you are skimming really heavy and doing regular water changes... or your tank will suffer.

These guys are very tough to keep alive. You will have to cater specifically to their needs for them to thrive.

Good luck...
