I know they are not "monster fish" but i was talked into getting on yesterday for 2 or 3 bucks. hes pretty cute. about 6 inches. he is a blue grey mettalic color with many black spots and a light stripe on his side, very long whiskers. the spots make him look dalmation like. he has a wide head. and a frog like face. I am big on spotted animals. I was just wondering what do these guys eat usually? what do you all recomend? and they dont get bigger than 8 inches right?

shrimp
fish fillets (cod, herring, silver sides non fatter fish meat )

krill
brine shrimp
mysis shrimp

my bad just logged on a saw the thread first one i came to forgot to say that the four lines they have are only when young they loose the pattern when older and its replaced by spots and blotches
i always thought they were pretty friendly, but I have one that was beating up my silver arowana that was a good inch or two longer.
mine would eat everything even cheapo top fin sinking shrimp pellets. they are more of a bottom feeder, so forget the flakes IMO.
