So who here keeps these bad boys? They get pretty massive, but sure are gorgeous. Picked up this little one, about 3.5" long today. He's been at the store for a couple months, chowing on mysis. I need some bigger fish for my 240 gallon that are large enough not to get eaten by the eels, so figured I'd grow him out for now until he's 7-8", then move him over to that system. He's already grown almost 1" in the time he's been at the LFS.

Ended up putting him in the 100 gallon for now after a freshwater bath, since it still has cupramine at therapeutic strength.
