Two of the nicest perch ever seen. Rare too. So nice!

I was going to ask what you guy's are feeding your perches?
Here is one of mine stalking his meal.

Been looking to get one of these Mandarin perch but I can't find much info on them, what size tank would it eventually need?

I'm not sure but I think something along the lines of a 180 should suffice.

I got this beauty 5-6 weeks ago. I have had him in my 75 gallon at 80f since he came in. The growth rate on this fish is crazy. At least doubled in size since day 1.
So far he's lazy and seems very scared still of my presence. He was sold to me as a Chinese perch X marble datnoid hybrid. But he seems to look like a normal Chinese perch.
