Who's got on? Haven't seen much posted on them in awhile! Thought people would be all over these "beauties"

Love to hear experiences etc. Wish i could keep one when i move to the US, but not legal in Oklahoma

Well I got him about 2 months about. He was trained on pellet, which I thought was boring so I thought "hey why not train him on goldfish . I got him on live now and some pellets. He was 22" when I got him he has grown tremendously!!!! I'll post some pics later. What else do you want to know?

Personality, activity level and how interactive?

I have him with a variety of tetras, and there has only been 4 gone! Even though I have him on feeders he actually doesn't confuse Tetras with the feeders. His personality is moderate. I have seen no aggression out of him. And he is very active!! He is always out.

This last pic makes him look a lot bigger than 39" but that is my buddy
