Apparently reaches about 19.7 inches in length. What type of aquarium were you planning on housing this beautiful beast in? I'd think something like 280-300G might be a minimum. It also says they feed exclusively on zooplankton. I wonder what that means in terms of keeping them in captivity.

wasn't planning on keeping him, I just wanted to get him out of that tank. It was a disgusting tank, overstalked, never cleaned, never anything.
I will probably trade sell it, with the funds going towards a 250watt halide. Super7

They are nice looking fish when healthy, but not spectacularly coloured. I bought mine last time as a baby for $20. It grew an inch a month & in less than a year, it was approaching a foot long in a 100g 4' tank. I then set up a 6'6" fowlr 160g fowlr for it but it got sick & died during the transition period.
Here's an old pic of mine:  Anthony
