ive read a crap load on them, but want to ask anyway
 
im assuming bowfin arent the average pet fish....... X(
 
Youre assumeing correctly, these fish are mean, ugly, hateful, grouchy, everything you must want in a fish to keep at home. They will eat anything. I would put him in a 180 gal tank with lots of driftwood and some long stringy plants, so he can lunge out and scare the crap outta small children as they walk by :ROFL:
 
Handful of people herea have them, most of here want one. Great fish with variable personality. Should be able to eat sinking pellets and supplimented some other goodies such as worms. Big tank is a must for these guys. My son catches them nearly 2 feet long in the creek that runs behind the house.
