| 57 | Stalin (k: 3) since 2016-08-16 to 2018-10-31, that's 2 years, 2 months; who writes, "Got them at about 3.5" and two of them have quickly grown into little 7" monsters. The third one wasnt very aggressive when feeding so he didnt get as much food. He got to a bit under 6" and was sold on 2016/10/29. Hoping to Sell the remaining two in the next month or so. They are feeding on chopped fish/shrimp and occasionally live fish. Very fun fish to keep (even for a very short time) and I wish I had the time and space to keep them a lot longer." |
