Does anyone have them? I just baught a pair like two days ago, they are about 5 inches in length.

It has not been easy to feed them, they have only been accepting bloodworms. I hope you guys can share your experience. They can't trust me yet, they freak out and run for cover when I approach too closely...like when I reach my hand. Do they have teeth? It's cool to watch their beak like snouth, jaws opening big..

congrats on your pickup, they, ive heard, can be spooked easily. love to see pics when you have them settled.

what size tank do you have them in?
 
I have one that loves dry food, particularly Tetra cichlid sticks and Sera flora flakes. Also dry krill.
