They are a pursuit predator.

Nice pics Trig. Did u happen to pick those up from Jughead?

 

[piranha45]

that sort of growth rate would put any dovii to shame. that's just a little slower than what a temensis will grow, right?

are they territorial towards themselves/other fish?

 

[Triggeraa]

Jed, yes they are jugheads old ones. They are not territorial to other fish unless they are breeding. The will chase each other on ocassion. Nothing serious. They get along well with the dorado and venezuelan pike.
