I had 3 of them from 11" - 12" in 72 30 30 inch tank but sold them recently. They need clean water with some current. That tank has a pump rated at 8500 lph. They will find the area that the current is to their liking. Sorry for the quality of the pics, it's from my mobile phone
wow dude i love your tank

I've seen that thing eat, it's teeth are huge. Definitely 15" plus.

Here is a pic from Mike's website

Is it for sale?

No...That is Mike's killer fish. He usually does have some 4" in stock though.
