I guess I should have put this in here. Any information on these guys? I saw them and hey looked pretty cool. How agressive are these guys compaired to a Red Devil?

there can be aggressive but usually are not. i have one with all my more aggressive cichlids and they dont bother him but thats just my tank. they are pigs and will eat alot and males can grow to 19 inches and females 12 inches.
They are incredibley mellow fish. I have a male at 15" and hes still growing. You can get them upto 18"
Petenia splendida is their scientific name. As said, just don't keep them with any tankmates that are too much smaller than them. I have my 12-13" male in with fish down to about 3.5-4" with no problems, but there's no guarantee the same would work for someone else. You pretty much got the basics of them with the above posts. Lip-locking mates are a definate no, and make sure you have a large tank for the possible (but aquarium unseen to my knowledge) 18". Search both red snook and petenia splendida on here, you should get lots of results.
