they are cool fish. tough fish, love to eat smaller fish if they can get them in their mouth. grow about 6 inches. They usually sell in pet stores for about 20-25 bucks around here in st. louis when they get them in, which isn't often. very active fish.
For breeding, start w/a group and let them choose there mates. I would seperate all others sincethey are fiesty and can get a decent size. Might not be a bad idea to keep a few females as growouts in another tank. the male can be come very aggressive during breeding.
