Hahaha...........Could you imagin what that combo would produce? I'll give it a shot!
I would also like to say thank you to everyone that posted, such nice comments. As you can all imagin I really love this guy and he has become as much a part of the family as our dogs. he really is easy to care for and his interaction and personailty is awsome. Thanks again coming from such dedacated fish keepers as you guys is really nice.
I’m bumping this thread because I’ve been seeing a growing number of threads about people buying these fish without researching them first.
These are big aggressively territorial fish with the power and will to exert their aggression in almost all situations. Some will never accept tank mates unless kept in very large tanks with equally large and pugnacious tank mates where a truce can be achieved and appropriate territories can be clamed. I have said we create the situations that cause problems, not the fish. Please research this or any fish for that matter before getting one. They are all cute when young like puppies but if you buy a Pit Bull and then complain you can’t take it to the dog park whose fault is that?
I hate to see a fish live a miserable existence or be discarded because we failed to be responsible fish keepers or wanted the toughest fish on the block and now that we have it don’t know what to do with it.

Well said and well worth the Bump. There has been a rash of threads about these fish and the problems that have come because of inappropriate research and planning.Aquanero;4774120;4774120 said:

Sometimes it's nice to read a comment that brings us back to earth and this is definitely one of them. Good job on raising and keeping this stud in great condition.
