oops sorry

i moved it for you and deleted the other thread.

i have never kept these due to the max size and speed they grow.
imo a huge tank is needed

they get huge and they get huge fast. Will get well over 3'.

i think ill pass on the TSN, too big for my tank and there AU$300 ( like $150 US i think )
anyway, thanks for the advice

they needa big tank on reason is because when scared they seem to dart from one end of the tank to the other and bang into the sides hard and sometime injury themselves....i think a 8 foot ++ if possible is what they should be kept in
