Wow that is a monster.. what r those lil fish u have in there with him, they look like african cichlids. Does he eat them?

Thanks guys he's 20"+!

I have a small colony of convicts that hang out with him. The convicts end up eating all the left over Hikari/dried earthworms that explode off of his Tilapia Fillets. He does not really eat them since they are so small. I keep wanting to grab a Raphael cat but I always think if he grabs it the spikes can hurt him. He wont tolerate any living creature in the tank other than the small fishes.

That's really interesting, u should try and add a shoal of neon or rummy nose tetras in there and see if he ignores them too. That would be an incredible sight.
