He said he was, he was starting to pick on his MBU, etc. so he sold it. Im sure he will raise hell in my tank as well but my fish will or should fight back, he is in the rockbass, warmouth, greensunfish and pumpkinseeds

nice bowfin. On the first pic I thought it was a insanely fat bichir lol. Do you know what is the min size tank for one?

Full grown, a 265 is way to small. They get rather large. 500 should work if wide enough.
