discusdude Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Awesome fish, definatly worth the time and effort. I currently have 5. My advice would be, if you get yourself a few females, keep them!

discusdude Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Hi, They are around 14cm. They grow extremely fast, i bought them only a few months ago at 4cm. I feed mine frozen blood worm, beef heart and hikari pellets. They absolutely love white bait. I buy it from the seafood store, and when i drop the white bait in, they go crazy!
