whats anyones op. about keeping him with my salvini and gts?

[rallysman]

They can get pretty nasty attitudes. Be careful. Good job on saving him from the evil pike though!

If I had to guess, in a few months, the GT's will be toast unless they are rather large now. Vieja are very aggressive fish. I also would lean to Blackbelt as well.
