Wow HH Im suprised you knew what it was!*obvious sarcasm* :wink:

Thanks man!

You know anything about them?

Fishbase says they get about 20cm, does that seem right?

Agressive?

Predatory?

Thanks again,
Sam

Yes.
Predatory?
Very much so. These are the most predatory auchenipterids you'll ever encounter.
They should not be kept with anything small enough to act as a meal, but should be OK with fish at least their size.
