Reading through some old posts I came across the cornish jack which I have never heard of. I don't plan on getting one but would love to know more about it. Especially since it is a close relative to one of my favorite fish the aba aba. Do they grow as large as the aba aba does in captivity? What are there temperaments like? thanks
 
Searching old threads to find info on my inebriated auction acquisition and i find one from my buddy charney no one answered.... so if you got some info give it please. thank you.
 
I saw them featured on some show last year,I don't think it was River Monsters.

I don't remember you calling it a cornish jack though.
 
Best thread about them on the forum:

It's not too good though, there's very little available on these guys. They seem to be roughly equivilent to an aba aba in their needs and temperament and they seem to grow decently quick.

Thanks Chicx- Are they fairly rare? Someone already pmd me to buy it.. and i am contemplating as not sure i want a 5 foot killing machine..lol
