as long as the other fish are big enough to not fit in there mouth .. there diet is small fish so any thing that fits is a goner.. they get to 23cm so they are a big predatory fish ..

Keep in mind also thier mouths are approx 1/3 the length of thier bodies. I have one that will be in a 55g soon but a 75g would be better. Right now it's growing like a weed since I have an over abundance of fryeri fry & some OB peacock fry. Which has been his diet of late. I try to grow them out to about .05" first. Mine is about 4" now.
