male, approx 6''. affectionately named "killer" after killing three salvinis (3-4'') and badly injuring a barramundi (9'') and oscar (8'') after being in the tank with them less than three hours!

he would have been out the door, but he has amazing color and because of his color i tried to breed him, so i set up a tank with a divider to see if he would co-exist with the mate i selected for him. unfortunately, he broke down the divider and killed her. i swear, this fish is just as aggressive than any dovii, jag, red devil or butti i've ever owned.

anyways, enough talk here's the pics-

I had mine for ten years with a wide variety of tankmates. He never started any trouble but didn't back down from anyone either.
