4' max, but in captivity 3' or less. The marbeled African is the big one at around 6'6". Until they hit around 8-10", they grow pretty fast, around 3 inches a month. I feed mine frozen mysis, frozen bloodworms, chopped market prawns and chopped nightcrawlers... I have three, one around 12", and the other two around 8".

I had one for 3 days and then it died...

****ing *******!!

You're living my dream!

When I went there last weekend and Li met us, He's like..

"Ehh..They're pretty ***."

Those words exactly.
I'm all like...

"SHUT UP CHUNG LI!!"

And he's like..

"You're the C*CK HUNTER..."

Then I cried.

The LF looks very nice though.
You're lucky you got the ones from the bigger batch, mine was WAY smaller.

will the south american one keep the colors it has curently wich is a blueish blackish base color with brightly colored yellow spots on its body? Or will these fade away into a ugly brown color. Also my african is it the marbled african. Out of all the info i have found on the african one it look like a marbled instead of the other african one.

we have at least 5 of them at my job currently, ranging from 3-6". Cool fish, but looks pretty ugly once it gets bigger.

 

[rayman45]

i want one

They just lose their spotting as they grow, when they hit about a foot. IMO, though, they look A LOT better when they're older and are a pure charcoal black color. Some of them turn sort of a tan color though, and those are pretty ugly, LOL... but I think if it's black as a juvie it's black as an adult, and the tan-ish ones are sort of green when small.

They've never benn accused of being pretty, but the def. are an awesome conversation piece. Watch your fingers!
