I adopted this girl from
Yellowcat
few years ago. She's quite a girl. Not sure on what was the cause, but I found her passed away when I checked on the fish this morning. She'll be missed
I kept her in a 600-gal with variety of fish like barramundi, Nile perch, rtgg, dovii, bagarius, to datnoid, silver dollar, bass, Aimara... She kept it to herself, but she won't let anyone boss her around. She claimed a corner of the tank for herself. She cruised around the tank at least once a day, definitely during feeding time. She didn't bother anyone when she cruised around the tank, but once she's back to her favorite corner, she won't let any fish get near that corner. She only ate fish, chop up or whole if not longer than 10". On her first year, she occasionally snatched a bass or a Tanganyika cichlids up to 12" long, but she stopped doing it on her own (or perhaps they got bigger than she could eat) and just stick with mackerel or other dead fish. I may have some pictures but I have to dig them outWow.
Yellowcat Hey Kirk, this is not the apurensis that reached 26"-28", is it? This one looks like 24" if straightened out. But still the biggest I have ever seen.
Sorry to hear, John. Do you have pics and vids of it alive? If it is the one of Kirk's that I am thinking of, I've never seen it after it left his tanks.
Tell us about it John, if you will. What's its story? Tank, tank mates, interactions, diet, likes and dislikes, etc.
