Mine never bothered my plecs, but I bet he would have killed silver dollars, he killed about everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Potential to reach 50cm. More likely to reach 40ish I think. Grows pretty quick, agro towards certain fish, but they are kickass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 can be agro, i think they are mroe likely to harass fish that they can catch, silver dollars may be too fast, but also silver dollars are bulletproof, they are perfect dither fish. good fish, but yes, does get big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuri08 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 i have found them not to be that aggresive they just like fish that can fit in their mouths i had them with angels swordtails kribensis then moved them in with cihlids and they were fine they dont really do much chasing mine got to about 25cm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still killed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 their mouths are reallyf unny, but can cause damage if left to rule the tank, its a lucky dip really, try and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamosfish Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Thanks for all the replies... Looks like there is no real way to tell if it will kill everything or not hahaha knew this would be the case. Still undecided if it is worth having him hav a go at a small Royal and Sunshine when he gets older! Is it really worth a try? Now I'm not sure. Cheers again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
