| 21 | richb since 2011-03-20 to 2012-07-07, that's 1 years, 3 months; who writes, "I got this fish as a 3 or 4 inch juvenile. He settled in pretty quickly. He now eats silversides and is rather spectacular. However, so far he does not like tankmakes unless he can eat them. He is currently in a 5' long 100 by himself. He beat on the planiceps until I had to move him. Unfortunately, this beautiful fish jumped, knocked the cover off the aquarium and landed on the floor. He died." |
