My old man caught this yesterday and just had to bring it home and put it in our spare tank. lol Anyhow i figured I would post it's pics too. He is a scary looking thing, and his teeth are frightening as well Not real sure what we are going to feed him, I'm guessing other fish...poor things

Awesome bowfin! They are crazy fish. It generally isn't too hard to get them off live food if you get them as young. But at that size, he's probably going to have to eat live.
