I don't own one but I bought one for my friend for his birthday last month.
He was about 2 inches when I bought him. I paid $15 for him at the LFS. He is one of 2 fish in a 55 gallon tank, the other being a 7 inch long Columbian Shark. They get along just fine although I thought the shark was going to eat him the fist 2 days.
We thought something was wrong with him when we threw him in the tank because he swims along the bottom with his head down and tail way up in the air? Anybody else's do this? He had a small piece of his right gill broken off but it wasn't that bad and hardly noticeable? Do gill cover grow back?, I never had that problem before.
He will eat anything but he is mostly fed frozen Mysis shrimp and blood worms. He eats until his belly is so full it looks like it will pop.
I hope he doesn't outgrow that 55 gallon tank to quickly because my friend doesn't really have the money to get a bigger one for a while.
