[xclusive252]

Ok its not for me but for a friend who lives in staten Island. I explained to him its a very hard to keep fish(from what i read) but he still wants one. If anyone knows how to get one or has one for sale plz let me know size price and a pic if possible. Thank you

Very cool fish..what size tank does he have though? They get pretty big

 

[xclusive252]

he has a big one i think 220 maybe alittle more also I pm'd let me know

 

[TRIGGERMAN]

yea that's probably about the minimum for that fish they can get 18-24" and they are tall as hell. LOL

Why are they hard to keep? Hard to get them eating? They seem so majestic, nice fish.
Goodluck.

 

[motortrendz]

it all depeneds on the type and individual fish.. my grandfather had one for years.. and i hear stories of people having them and they do awesome then just stop eating and die.. im not sure specifically but from everything i heard theyre really hard to keep
