wow. thats a beautiful fish. about how much do they run? possible tankmates? max size?
I got him for 16.99, i think thats bout the norm. I think the max size is bout 12-14"

you think with some pacus?
a fully grown one would prolly be ok with pacu, otherwise i think theyd end up a expensive snack.
 
wow. nice Xingu I. makes me wanna go out and buy one NOW. they cost around US$30 around here for a 4" juvie. :( (we have some greedy fish importers/distributors here lol)
 
acouple new pics of the lil guy. Ive yet to have any pike thatd eat flake food, but this guy eats everything.
