That tig is docile but it dosent excuse him from being aggressive towards other cats.
LOL. There are tons of RTC that are "ill cross that bridge out there......."
Good luck for you and the fish.
I appreciate ur concerns but these fish are not like rtc. The behavior and aggression is nothing in comparion to an animal like a rtc. I had the misfortune to own one before when lrg ones were not common 15 yrs ago. It went from 3" to 2 ft in less then 16 mnths. It ate a few tabk mates including a pleco and arowana. Both were the same size of it. That was lesson learned and that was my only rtc! In any rate, this fish is not an aggressive eater, shows no aggression at all and is shy nothing likea rtc that basically is an eating machine. Not saying that once it settles in it won't be more actively looking for food but from my experience which is not much with this specific fish, it is docile and hangs out all day in the same area not straying far from the area shown in the pic next to the tig. I am excited to see what transpires with this fish and hopefully we all learn more about them as i update the post regularly.
Me too im curious on how all turns out. Ive done some research and have spoken to few guys like Vincent wu and viktor for tips.Beast. Subbed to watch the progress here
The two guyz i mentioned have gotten them to around 24"+. I know vincent has 2 one peruvian one suriname like the one i have and viktor i believe has 3, 2x peruvian and one Suriname. That's all i know of atm besides myself. I was hoping someone that dose/did have one would chime in with their experience.
Idk. Only guya I've seen are those 2 nationally. I know of a few internationally.
