Chaca Chaca Update

I had never heard of the chaca chaca before now and I must say, it's a fascinating species. Just seeing it gives me ideas of a tank with some stone caves, vals in the nooks and crannies in the rocks, and some slow moving large fish that are too big to be swallowed swimming in the upper parts of the tanks as you see the heads of several chaca chaca poking out from the caves. Give it dim lighting too and some tannins. Beautiful, just beautiful.
Wonderful. Thank you!
IMHO it'd be even more wonderful, as in convenient for lazy people like me, if all your updates were in the same thread on the same fish or the same fish species, so I could see the past videos with ease and read past updates and hence quickly evaluate growth, find answers to my questions, like how long you had them, how many, what has been their growth rate over the time you owned them, what tank mates you tried with them, etc. etc.

My pleasure. I keep so many types of monsters inlcuding African Tigerfish.
But these guyz have a special place in my collection. Pure predator fish.
Awsm idea. I myself took some pointers from your input. Thank you
Point noted and I agree. Will post all future updates to this thread in the future.
To answer some of your questions, I had these guyz since about 3 inches.
Got them about 1 year back and now they re about 6-7 inches. Last week I got another juvenile and he is still 3 inches.
Can't mix him witj the bigger ones as they will eat him lol ( learnt it the hard way).
I kept my pair with full grown angels. They killed and consumed all of them. When hinking if tank mates, fish should be atleast twice as big as Chaca in order to avoid getting eaten. Chaca can and will eat fish equal to their own size.
Tank mates should not be overly aggressive or aggressive feeders.
Chaca chaca are peaceful as long as they can't consume their tank mates.
All my Chaca Chaca are trained toneat pellets.
I still feed them live once in a while
Graceful and great answer, bro. Thanks. Yeah, I couldn't remember if mixing small chacas with big chacas was risky or not. I thought someone on here was trying it. Must have been you
