Dont know if I should pick it up? How big do they get? What color do they stay when adults?
 
Was it a Jardini or a Leichardti? last is mellower than the first.

Both grow to around 2 feet ( some say more ) and are in the agressive tier of predators. Jards should be kept alone if you love your other fish.

They stay silverish, with some pinkish /golden overtones.

Searcgh dta in MFK.

Gorgeous beasts!!
 
Im going to see if the Lfs can give me a pic so I can post it and get an ID
 
jars stay closer to 2ft, leichardti's can easily reach 3ft.

both are a tad agressive when older. lei's look very very silverish compared to jars.

i prefer lei over jar, and i am having luck with tankmates so far.
