Id be carefull with what you put in with this guy. I just got rid of a 13" one because it took a chunk out of my 12'' RTCs back fin. There a fun fish though. I was able to hand feed him after about 3 weeks. Be careful with the teeth though. Good luck
not worried about that not my first bowfin have a larger one now he actully gets beat up on alot by my bigmouth sleepers . no different from any other large predatory fish i have . now is there anyone who know a good vender for natives.
