dude honestly 6 months down the road you will be paying someone to take them
trust me! just holler at me down the road and I'll take em :)

grow really fast when fed and you can only keep fish that wont fit in there mouth and remember there mouth grows as well! i keep mine with petros and jumbo size tropheus


extremely territorial in small numbers EXTREME i don't see much aggression in them. i have 5 total. the tropheus chase them more than anything.

good luck finding them that small you usually see them in stores around the 7-8" size Ultimate has one about 7 inches long that I want, but not willing to pay Alex's price. Mine are 7-10 inches. I have them in an 8ft long 300 gallon.

All in all, really cool fish. They are surprisingly docile when kept in larger numbers or maybe it's the numerous fish in the tank. Either way, they look SWEEET!!!!!! THANKS CHRIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
