Does this belong to any of you guys....
 
No, but I wish I had the tank for one, I love the colors of them.
 
I have a 8" albino love him/her love the color and the size the most. They get very big if keep right.
 
I've had a bunch of them in the past, up to and slightly over 12". Even wild ones from Peru. Got rid of all of then one by one. I have no desire to ever get more. There are 100's of much more interesting fish to keep. Like aros, pbass, dovi, umbee. The list goes on........

I have a bastard oscar that attacks tankmates, attacks me, and smashes my thermometer. Begs for food constantly. Pouts when I clean the tank. One of my favorite fish.

lol my oscar is the same way. He is one 7 inches but tried to eat a 3 inch convict! He also knocks the thermometer around but has yet to break it.
