Milky Way Galaxy,
I keep coming back to rtc... Is there anything about that size that when you feed him (perferbly hand feed) they go crazy and start splashing the water and when they come uo to eat pellets its just a frenzy I want something pretty active for a 8x6...

I was afraid to put my hand in with my jardini. He was ruthless.

My old piranhas had me scared tho. They would def let you know when it was time to get out of that tank or it was time to get stitches

Milky Way Galaxy,
how big do umbee's get? A jar would be a good fit maybe. Pbass would be awesome after seeing those feeding vids! Jags would be a strong option to. But out off all those if I grew them to max size and then introduced a couple small 1' rtc later on. Who would survive?

I have a 10" male Midas that every spring is ready to mate and will attack my hand in the tank. I put on heavy gloves during this time to clean the tank. He will latch on and shake like a pit bull. Thankfully this only lasts for a short period of time and I can tell by the way he acts when he is going to do this. A LFS has a breeding pair of Dovii with the male being around 16", it has a real mean disposition and is a total glass banger. I would be afraid to stick my hand in that tank even with gloves because it has got some teeth.
