Awsome fish, Did you see these fish on River Monsters? I just saw one around 5' the other day. I hope you have plans for a pool size tank in the near future.

He's got it covered.

Thanks guys! I love this guy. I've never seen a fish eat like this guy can. He's gone from 8" to 16" in like 2.5 months!

The fish I saw didn't have nearly as much red as yours already does! Again, nice monster!View attachment 731540

I'm just going to keep updated this thread with pics...




take a look at all the red that's starting to show up on the body! I've been feeding a lot of MP with the shell on and its been paying off. Prior to taking these pics, he ate 8oz tilapia filet no problem.
