Was sup Joey. Nice looking PB's.
 
I have 2 monos. I'm looking for more. I've had fish off and on for 30yrs. a friend of mine a long time ago had some in a breeder tank with an arapima. He fed them huge feeders (that's when you could get them) The peacocks ate so much the arapima had to wait until they were full with feeders sticking out of their mouths. They couldn't swallow any more. Then the arapima got some. I never had any. Now I have a couple and want more.
