Do you mean Morulius chrysophekadion?
Size: 24" (fishbase recons 36" but I believe they have misidentified some of the pics/data).
Temperament: Generally very aggressive, especially with larger fish and cichlids. Mine leaves anything 3"-4" alone. Anything bigger than 12" gets a pretty hard time.
Temperature: 75-78
PH: Not fussy or important
Tank size: 6'x2'x2' or bigger
Diet: Mine has hikari cichlid gold and cichlid staple pellets, sinking catfish pellets, sinking sturgeon pellets, chopped prawn/mussels/whitebait/smelt.
This is mine @ 24" in its 10'x2'x2' tank

Mine's at 9'' and I've got it in with a 9'' tiger oscar at the moment. The two temperments seem to offset one another as of now and I'm hoping the six months of peace I've had so far continues. I've got mine on Hikari sinking carnivore, Hikari bloodworms, and it mooches some Omega One brine shrimp from the oscar every so often. Seeing that sleek black frame glide through the water is a gorgeous sight IMO.

Thanks. I have had her for 11 years and she was about 2" when I got her.
