thax for all the kind words..... yes he is ferrel from Florida yet we believe given his size that he was probably one of the original WC's imported from Nic and let free to roam the canals. I'v had him for atleast a couple months now and he has bred twice although the eggs never took given the location the female chooses to lay and his size doesn't allow for the best fertilization. I plan on moving that 50+ lbs. rock out of the tank but am hesitant since he won't hesitate to bite anything that enters HIS waters
