a few questions I am pondering...

I would have got the cat if I was you. You should be able to tell relatively easy by look and behavior if it has a disease, and you should always quarantine regardless. But assuming that the guy bought the cat, chocolate and tin foil barb around the same time, and they are not years old but only 6months-1year, the growth rate does not seem stunted.
He said that the cat is almost 2 years old which does seem a bit stunted. My 6 month old cat is 14" and that's with eating pellets!
I have until Sunday to officially decide on taking him or not.

maybe a bit, but I dont think its that stunted for 2 yrs. 14" in 6 months, wow, thats extremely fast growth unless you got him at 10" lol. If you want another cat I'd get it.

I got him at a mere 2 Inches. I'll have to post pics if him when i got him. I thought he's been growing at a normal rate. Lol.
I'm just glad he's not ventured to eat anyone yet. He is content to just chill with everyone. And the bichirs could easily be food for him.
thats awesome man, you must be taking care of it very well. If you do get the cat, or another big cat, be careful with those bichirs, your cat may not think of eating them (yet) but if you introduce another big cat that's not used to them, they may become nom nom noodles.
Fronts like a rocky habitat. I can't believe they are happy at all in the open like that. I hope you're planning on heavy decor for the fahaka, as they love their caves & lots of plants to hang out in to feel like it's in a river setting. Is this fish coming from someone's tank or directly from the wild? Fahakas are not fish-eaters, per se but they are fish-killers. Their staple diet are crustaceans.

The Fronts are absolutely fine in the tank. They have been I'm am open tank for over a year and that's with the Prev owners. I do plan on adding rocks etc to the 300 for them. The 150 is just temporary.
As far as the Fahaka goes It is being kept by a fish keeper and he can't get it to eat anything that doesn't move. So I'm gonna get some large snails, clonin crayfish and set up a special diet for him. I will not be feeding him feeders at all.
As far as the bichirs becoming nom nom noodles, I am going to
Be upgrading the tank they are in to a bigger tank and I am not
Going to be putting them together.
My cat is rather lazy. Haha. When I drop pellets in the tank he sits there with his mouth open until they drop into it. Haha.

If there is one thing i have learned. Never trust a flowerhorn, that can be nasty, i had one that completely destroyed a lemon oscar to the point where it was laying at the bottom of the tank completely fin-less and missing most of its scales. And this all happened in a day while i was at Disneyland. That definately curbed my happyness after my trip
There are 2 excellent articles I linked you to on how to get puffers on dead foods. Also, one on the dangers of feeding GF to puffers.
