His life story is he was caught at 3 in. I gave him to a friend who put him in a 10 gal till i got my tank up and running. he grew but slower than he is now. He ate all of the dace he was housed with(eccpected), than i got him at 5 in. iv had him for two weeks and have fed him a lot on bloodworm cubes, earthworms, shrimp, and tuffies and he is now 6 in! 1inch in 2 weeks. I put in 3" and 4" golden shiners last week to find them btten in half when i came home from school. he is a pig, so happy. Pumpkinseeds cant pick on him anymore.
