Awesome fish. I bought one a few years back that was about 10". Paid a pretty penny for it. Thing was chowing massivore right away, frozen, everything. Looked like it was going to be a real stunner. Came home from work one day and it was stone dead. Water was perfect, tank very established and stable. all other fish were fine. It had no signs of being beat up. That was less than 2 weeks after buying it! Given what I paid for it, I was pretty ticked.
