[ECW]

Long time dead thread.... Well this dude is still kicking the crap out of the tank walls trying to kill me on a daily basis. Just some quick update pics at somewhere like 14" or so. View attachment 1187348 View attachment 1187349

He is beautiful! Pics like these definitely put them on my future "to get" list.

I hear different comments regarding aggression. Do you find him more or less aggressive than a midas or amarillo?

He's in a 6x2 150 gallon

Yes he has had a female chancho in his tank for quite some time. They've tried to spawn a bunch of times with no success.

And fantastic job with this guy forest, the best hoga I have ever seen!!!

Thanks very much!

Definitely a fish everyone should keep at least once

The most aggressive fish I have ever had. Constantly bangs the tank if I get anywhere close. Has drawn blood on me in the past.

Wow amazing fish.

Thanks!

what do you think the problem is with the unsuccessful spawns?

Been a while since I've posted any pics of this guy so figured we'd get some updated pics up of this beast. He's about 11 1/4" now and about 6" tall now and is getting absolutely massive lately. Here you go..

wow...what is that thing?
