Zero enjoyment, as the fish sat in a tank in a spare bedroom. I wasn't about to devote a 450 gallon or 520 gallon to a single fish so he sat in a 150 gallon tank. If anything could be said about a Rhom is buy it when they are 12" plus . I seen this 15" Rhom below in person and it chased me from one end of the tank to the other as I walked by the tank. These big ones are few and far between and fetch a hefty price tag. I believe it only lived for 5 years after it was originally purchased. It went from original owner to the person below and then back to original owner were it then died. More pictures of this beast on Piranhafury.

Agree. Rhoms are boring when small. They are so skittish and a lot of them take so long to even eat in front of you. I kept spilos, elongatus, caribe and regular red bellies. I enjoyed the caribe shoal the best. The rhom was around 8 inches and was so boring to keep lol.

You might as well get a mangrove jack.
I know this will be the fish that I'd keep in a species only tank!
