You take the cake rummy, you call someone an ignoraumous and I'm the rude one. You are just a newbie to me I was keeping fish when you were in kindergarten. Go check how long I was on *********** this is a newer site. Why are you so paranoid that someone is calling you a liar? All I asked for is documentation. Where did I call anyone a liar? Only you have mentioned lying!
I respect the way Ashdavid posted and answered me and I can tell he doesn't glory in fish killing like you. So I respect that too.
Anyone with a background in behavorial science could spot your personality traits a mile away. As if boxing has anything to do with fish fights. Please spare us mature adults the baloney.
I will soon document for all my fish keeping abilities. As soon as I find my pictures to scan.

And if its Anecdotes you want,I had a 24 inch cobra snakehead who at 15 inches easily killed a 10-1/2 inch red. However he lived with a 10 inch red devil ,4 tinfoil barbs and a pacu, for years. The most he would do is once and awhile grab one by the face and spit him out. Why? because most S/H won't kill what they can't eat, and they were to big for him to swallow( the only exception might be a Red) Now on the other hand I have a 16 inch Dovii that lives alone since he murders anything put in his tank alive or dead. So you tell me who is tougher? Their is a big difference between a fish that murders other fish and one who just kills to eat.
And to differentiate us I do not experiment with puting fish in his tank "just to see who could live with him". Why because I am an experienced fishkeeper and know what would happen (even to your beloved snakeheads). Only a newbie wouldn't know or and unless he had a huge tank like Ashdavid.

Still waitng for the video mate!

Kev you said it I quote “the only exception might be a Red” it is a killer and is will kill as I said just as a territorial thing nothing to do with food. And I assure you I know of some one that put a catfish of 10 “ in with a 14” red as he turned his back there was an almighty splash he turned round to see a head floating still gasping for air I know this person very well as he is my father and he assured me in his then 30 years of fish keeping "there is no way that fish will eat that one." What I am trying to say is even an old timer gets it wrong some times. And is the red not a snakehead well that puts snakeheads at the top.

yeah hemi. elongatus & hemi. fasciatus are both hitters I'll give them an honorable mention they can kill most fish their size i owned both. so are serralmus elongatus(never kept one yet lived vicariously through one my friend owned). But i've have to say that out of the fish I've owned I'd go for Asian red tail cats or any of the large mystus cats. could only keep with larger fish except a hemichromis fasciatus which they fought every day. the artc. beat up SH. I've never seen an aggressive ,to non slender fish,hoplias a heavy body fish usually wins. had a 6 inch convict drive a 9 inch hoplias out of the tank.

Huh? I said "MIGHT BE" that is not a definite admission that the red is on top. Where do you get this twisted logic from?:confused:

I agree asian red tail cats are extremly agressive. I had one make a Red snakehead commit suicide by jumping out of the tank. Granted the red was only 4inchs and the cat was 6. He chased him relentlessly until one day I came home and the S/h was dried out and dead on top of the tank.
 
<<<<<How old are you Kevin? I'm 24, I've been keeping fish for long time, with a long break.>>>>>

I'm 41 so I nailed it once again. I was keeping fish when you and your mates were in kindergarten. But I knew that because of what you say and how you act in your posts you are very easy to profile.

Very nice fish and very respectful post though.
