John they come from Panama they are closely related to the Altifrons and alfari. they were sand sifters but had to start to feed on smaller fish. they get about 10-12 inches. Are not wimps but don't have the aggression like some other but can be nasty. very nice!!
Tony Idone » posted 2008/05/06 - 12:24  
More like 10 inches at peak
