congrats on your monster! How big, and what is the tank size? Those guys are beasts! Arapaimag had a 2' black shark kill a 5.5' Arapaima gigas!!!!!!!!
 
nice tank, is there a lot of territory fights? Do the sharks pick on the clown loaches?

I believe that.

I have one not quite as large as on that video and he will try to kill anything he can.

I have to leave him in with my male RD because he is the only one that can keep him in check. My fish would all be dead if I didn't.

I LOVE these fish but they have a very NASTY attitude. Be careful if anyone is thinking about running out to get one of these!
 
Thanks for the comments all :)

She is a gnats knacker under 2' right now and I have had her for just over 10 years from about 2". She is fairly mellow compared to some I have seen, ignores everything bar the mahseer. All in all, a fairly peaceful tank consdering the territorial cyprinids that are in there. The clowns don't get bothered by anything. Tank is 6x2x2 so not ideal, but it works well for now.
