I dont stick my hands in his tank lmao. as soon as i enter the room he comes right to the top and starts biting at anything that touches the water.

+1, Hoplias malabaricus.

I always loved the way hoplias look but the truth is they usually are dreadfully boring. So i would purchase them and then either give them away or sell them because they werent my cup of tea. but this guy is keeping the interest going by eating extremely well and as soon as food touches the water.

I'd vote Mala as well.

cool
