this pic is 8-10 mths old... shes put on some size since then
 
that's a bad-ass pic dude. Can't really help you out to much though but wanted to comment on it. How long have you had her.
 
thanks

almost a yr now.... use to eat shrimp and fish fillets... not any more
 
I’m getting rid of my snapper she is getting to big for her 30g.
I caught her about 6 years ago and she only eats live gold fish and small mice and one time she ate a small rat snake
 
Have you tried using some foreceps and waving a piece of meat in front of it?
 
fishing like i said on ym... just buy beer
 
What you keep her in?
 
Isn't their mouth like a trap? Does it spit out whatever it doesn't want to eat or does it not "snap" shut?
