I work at petland and a few months back we got some around 5". A lot of them died they b/c they would not eat....We tried every kind of food under the sun but still nothing....just watch out.

Yeah the fw stone's AKA bullrout are sweet, ive had mine for a few weeks now, Ive got him in with my 60cm Leichartdi and they get along great, I think the Saratoga thinks he is a rock, I have 15 feeders cruizing around in the tank and he picks a few off when he gets hungry.

I love the look of mine when hes just sitting in the lace rock, most people never even notice that its a fish.

iv havent kept one yet but im planning on getting one soon so i have done some research. lets see if we cant figure this out maybe?

how big is it?
what size tank is it in?
what other fish/invertabrates are in the tank with it?
what's the tank temperature?
are you keeping it in brackish water or freshwater?
what is the ph?
when was the last time you did a water change?
how much water did you change?
what are you feeding it?
how often do you feed it?
and oh course....... can you post a picture of the fish?
