A fun oddball
by Tony
I've had one of these guys for a year or so now. He started off very tiny, and is now a solid 5-6 inches. He likes to hide amongst the plants and along the back glass of the aquarium. For the most part he leaves the other fish alone, but I did make the mistake of adding a new fish from the quarantine aquarium a little too soon, and it only lasted a day or two before it ended up in this guy's mouth. Definitely be careful about adding smaller fish; This is an ambush predator, and it can open it's mouth incredibly wide. If a fish can fit in it's mouth, it WILL try to eat it.
