And yes these cats are best kept alone. They are true quarrelsome monstrous cats with very huge appetites. I fed my previous 8-10" specimens with common pecs and even red ear sliders lol... Instant and deadly fights btw conspecfics when put tgt!!

Best cats!!! I had two and they were beasts. I also have videos to upload of some monsters that I filmed in Venezuela at the Zoo.

Feeding them is lots of fun - highly interactive and action-packed, if you will. They appeared to even recognize the sound of my ripping open a package of food! Mine relish everything fleshy - fish pieces, shrimp, pretty much any sea and aquatic foods. Never tried to wean them onto dry - had no reason to.

Cool. Two of mine three above are from Shark Aquarium. Is it alive? Did you get poked? How much was it with and without shipping to Kansas? I think I purchased mine in person for ~$80 each 2-3 years ago.
