Yea i almost bought him a a month ago but went with some smaller ones. He is a good looking fish, pellet trained is key at that size, I'm still working on getting my 5"ers to take pellets.
I bought a batch of his smaller ones too, not to try to sound negative but I didnt have any luck getting them to eat pellets. 2 of them died and 2 of them I gave to my friend.
