My new monster: NILE PERCH

[snow]

Got on saturday, 6". A true monster to be, I'm keeping him into adulthood. This fish will give me a good excuse for a large upgrade.

The flazh made his eyes red in this pic:

lol...you're nuts! I hope you plan on building something big enough for a 6ft monster. It does look really cool though.

I'm not nuts, I just like big fish!lol

I am pretty sure it would kill an Asian arowana in the long run. Keep the size ratio at 1:3 in my opinion.

WOW!! Once it gets 6 feet you can eat too!

hmmm yummy lol. BTW I forgot to mention that this is a ROYAL nile perch. They don't get as big as regular nile perch. They still do get very big though and need a large tank.
