Maybe I did not finish my sentence..sorry for the last post..I mean they thrive ok in FW during their juvenie stage...cuz we import these as well and they are all in FW quarantine..

Ok, yes, I agree with you there. Most times when you see them as a juv. they are in FW. In order for them to live a long life though they need BW.
 
Nice post Miles, 95% backs up my findings as well, the other 5% is probably a case by case scenario. The only thing I saw that looked incorrect is the lack of teeth. These things have nice big teeth, they just usually are not evident untill around 7"+.

Very nice post though.
 
We took 8 from about 4" to between 12" and 20" in less than a year by suplementing the usual bloodworms,tubifex,brine shrimp,daphnia with a mix of very finely chopped mussel prawn and cockle.
 
I bought 3 more today, they are so rare around here anymore I try to snatch them up when I see them. I now have 5 total.
1- 9.75"
1- 7.75"
1- 6.75"
2- 5.5"

Man.. I guess I'll have to get a 125 wide tank when they get bigger :-)
 
pure awesomeness
