Hujeta ''Rocket Gars??"'

[AquaAlex1993]

Seen those Hujeta's in person at aquascape, pretty cool fish. Kinda skinny though.

They sent me a tiny one. He became toast. Guess who ate him?
1 of my largest widebar silver dollars.
Mine had black and white stripes, don't think it was a hujeta gar.

Pretty much, they aren't piranha aggressive just a bit more than your usual silver dollars or red hooks. They are mostly aggressive towards themselves... but like most fish whatever fits in their mouth they eat. Myleus species are meat eaters as well.
