If anyone, not just native keepers would like to own a fish that is both beautiful and interesting to watch, Find yourself a Warmouth. I own one of these Pigs, now in a 75 gal tank with other natives about the same size. for now 3 inches or so, Already hes been caught swallowing up to the tail a nice banded Darter (Got Moved to the bigger tank for that) And now when feeding, ( I feed a lot of frozen Cubes) He will gulp an entire floating cube, and when i put in another one so the rest of the fish will get some, even though he is so fat he cant wiggle, he will try to gulp that one as well. Even knowing he is a fat pig, I still love him and he will probably get his own tank soon.

Beauty, I have one aswell. He begs for food like an oscar. Love their colors as well. Mine is on a staple diet of pellets (took to them quickly) and loves crickets, worms, catfish chunks, and the occasional feeder.

Beautiful! I've been looking at those, thinking of adding one to the native tank... I havn't seen one I didn't like so far.
Anyone mixed them with Oscars?
