Nice Jag Frank!....Had one of these guyz and he grew soo fast...he loved feeders..very big appetite

Thanks Christian - he's a Loisellei, like a small cousin to the Jag - same genus, but smaller in size and less hostile. He was passive at 2" when I got him, but now he's around 4", and coming into his own w/ color and appetite.

Two remain! I think one has doubled in size... he is gigantic. It must be the king. They have destroyed plenty of private property (plants), and I'm really thinking hard of evicting them....hopefully they will be lunch soon enough :)

maybe you can crack him on the head and let nature take over. Did you decide where your tank will be placed by the bar??

Actually I did - and I built the stand - did all but cut the hole... maybe just nerves. Turns out I didnt have much choice due where my laundry room ends behind that wall - so it actually is going right between to two spots, centered on the wall.
