LOL.. when I picked them up at the LFS the person who was selling to the fishstore was still there. The LFS bought a bag, which I bought. I asked the guy who was delivering if he had more. I bought all his bags...LOL..HAHAHA..

Who knows when we will see these again. Wes brought these in like 2-3 yrs ago. Out of the batch I'm keeping I'm hoping to grow out some monsters.

They are one crazy predators.

want to see a tank shot!!

Thought they get like 2ft? Anyone have an offical max size?

I've read anywhere from 24 to 30"

Congrats, all who picked up. Very nice addition to the collection!

Btw, what temp. is everybody keeping theirs in? I've heard that these come from colder temperature waters? or do better in cooler water... or something like that? Is this true?
