Anyone Else Got A Giant Leoporinus?

[Westie]

I've had this guy for about 3 years. I forget about him a lot since he only comes out at feeding time and doesn't associate with his tankmates. He's about 8".

SEXAAAAAY!! I'm tempted to get some, but then, I could use that room for OTHER fish!! Still am tempted though. How is the aggression? I've heard it can be a really anal fish...lol...

I love those fish. Realistically though, what is the minimum tank size for these guys?

Stingrayguy got one at the MN meet, I would like to see his!

Here is mine at about 10-12 inches, and yes they can be aggressive with other fish.

I had a 10" one that was a big bully, and a killer.!@! The bigger they get the more stuff mine would kill.

He mysteriously died a few weeks ago.

Cool but still a baby! Ive seen them close to 18!"

Mine's an angel in my 100G at about 8.5 inches.

Nice Leporinus, but those loaches make the tank!

Are there differant types or just one....?

I've see some 3" guys here..and was wondering how long would they take to reach 6-7" ?
