Thanks man, That thing is a Bad MoFo!!!
 
What is there temperment like at large sizes? Was thinking of growing a group of 5 out for my Odd ball pond.
 
They tend to stop being so skittish. Also, though generally not too aggressive, some individuals become increasingly belligerant, taking shots at their tankmates, not only other ATFs.
Smaller fish previously not looked at as prey may be added to the menu, because their jaws and teeth are more developed and much larger which enables them to neatly slice other fish (much to large to swallow whole) to bite sized pieces.
 
Any info abt forskalli? eg. size, temperament and requirements?

I heard they are v delicate when young...
 
HAVE A 12 INCH ONE VERY NERVOUS FISH IF YOU EVEN LOOK AT HIM HE TAKES OFF INTO THE GLASS OR ATTEMPS TO JUMP OUT VERY SCARY.WHEN I GO TO CLEAN THE INSIDE GLASS HE,S JUMP OUT SEVERAL TIMES.NOT REALLY WORRIED ANYMORE THEY SELL THEM CHEAP IN DELAWARE 30-40 DOLLARS.
