Flowerhorn, I was one of the others - you are the one not responding.
Follen - They are absolutely one of the best wet pets - do a search and you'll see thousands of pages of information, anecdotes, and photos - including some of mine.
Getting another one was actually not a good idea - but you wouldn't have known - One will most likely kill the other. They are good with other fish until they hit 5-6 inches, at which point most of them start killing, and / or eating everything else in the tank. Mine did. Literally overnight, with no warning whatsoever. (My previous one was best friends with an Oscar, in comparison.)
I know there are a few on here that are ok with tankmates, but that is not the norm.
They eat a lot, of anything and everything, literally - and grow very fast. Mine is 18 inches at 2 years of age, and uses every bit of her 300 gallon tank that she has to herself. Has loads of personality - even more than Oscars, etc.
Ask away ! They are one of the best pets out there.
