He thinks its his tank only and bullies everyone pretty good. Ok thing is he just chases everyone off all the time but doesn't really injure them yet. My managuense would bite and headbutt the other fish all the time. Fish with him is a korean perch.

There are pics of the perch in "other rmonster fish"
Those guys are definately my favorite p-bass. Where did you get him? I saw a bunch at Shark Aquarium about a month ago, gorgeous fish!

lol i thought it was high.... awsome fish and im not trying to get to you but can you see how his colors are washed out? well you can change that. that pbass is either from brazil or venzuala... im shooting more from venzuala ... they need soft water and low ph. if you drop your ph down to about 5.4-5.7 ...5.4-5.5 is the best... he will gllllooowww. i promise ;) just to help you... blah they hate high ph :D hope that helps

dude i have the same fish and there only at four inches. you have to match there natural habitat for these are wild caught.. that means black water, soft water quality and low ph... take my advise and see what happens. it cant hurt! here are a few quick pics i took last week. i will update pics soon.. for all there fins are turning that blue color like there tail.
