You don't own my AF at all hah. Mine is a flicker.For an adult, I would even consider going a little bigger. I think room is important, because they're a very skittish species...the most skittish I've ever personally dealt with. I've heard they can be flicky, but I haven't seen it, I have one male about 3", one penultimate male and a 3.5" female, all raised from slings and I have yet to see any of them flick or even have a tiny bald spot. Generally they just bolt and hide (make sure they have lots of hiding places, especially important for skittish and fast ts). The rare time they don't, I get the raised rump waving at me (I love seeing this)....maybe one day one will get flicky, who can say...but I think added room and cover can really reduce this.
Superb feeding response, decent growth rates and man, I really like their look.
For as quick and skittish as they are, they're not difficult to work with IME.
