Who Has the Biggest Ornate Bichir?

I have one that's about 16-17" and really fat.
He eats primarily market shrimp, but recently stalked, killed, and half ate an 8" pink tail chalceus. He also recently shredded a big frontosa.
Anyone else have theirs turn angrier as they get older?
I've tried to keep him with other ornates and bichirs...no luck. It looked like battle of the dinosaurs - with the vanquished hiding in the surface plants.

cheers, and my pics are with my camera phone so really don't do him justice. I hardly ever see him eat so god knows how he's grown so well but he's really stocky and powerful, spends most of the time sitting round with my sulking auranti (auranti's really don't like winter!)
those are some hug ornatipinnis, heres one of mine falling in as a welterweight at 10", this one pic the goldfish was intended for the knife, had no idea the ornat would eat half a third of her weight in one godfish, she was fat for a few days.
forgot this one, i almost caught her laying on the clown knifes back, she frequently likes to sit there after he's eaten and relaxed, i think he's her hero.
mine is 11'' damn ur bichirs are great! i have 1 ornate.., but it is still a baby!! hehe.., 2-3''.., gudluck to all bichir fanatics!!
