Wow very cheap for an Anthurus! That's what it is, Anthurus, they get about 10-12 inch I'd snatch that guy in a heartbeat for 10$!

How aggressive are they? I have the most experience with belly crawlers and sveni. Are these guy real aggressive pikes? Im not sure if ive just been lucky but the sveni adults ive had have been pretty calm and i only had one male belly crawler that was exceedingly territorial

I really don't know, my buddy had one for a while but sold it to someone I don't talk to when it was still smaller. I recently started a thread for Anthurus to get peoples experiences with them on here... nobody bit, not one response
