So I picked up a 2.5" satanoperca daemon from my LFS, but the store had no idea what it was. I knew right off the bat it was daemon and no lilith or acuticeps by the triple spots and the blue spangles, and they gave me 50% off just for being able to ID it. They thought it was amazing as I'm only 15, not many people my age are in this hobby, let alone do anything but smoke and drink underage to look "cool" So I put him in a 75 gallon for now until I get the 240 set up. He seems to be roaming around exploring the tank, and with eartheaters I know that they don't start sifting sand until they're comfortable with their new home. What's the growth rate for these guys? What's your experiences with them? Not much info I can find. Thanks guys.
 
Nice pick up! My first thought would be to track down 3-4 more especially with the size tank you have planned for them. I'm not entirely sure about their growth rate as I don't have first hand experience with them. If you google satanoperca daemon the first two results offer some great information, one being an article written by Lee Newman and his first hand experience with the fish and the other is seriouslyfish, which has some basic information on the species.
