I really liked all the info. I currently don't have any "monsters", but I hope that one day I can own some. The closest thing I have right now is a 46gal w/ a couple of 4-6 in fancy goldfish. I'm saving up for a 210gal, and doing research on fish in the process.

My Columbians are about two years old and are a little over a foot.. they have not grown much lately so i do not expect them to get much bigger.. they need to be in brackish water as they get older or will have numerous skin conditions and eventually die.. so my two are in full brackish now... are you keeping the little guy,?

Great thread, but you need to clean it up and add more species!!! This should be pinned as an ongoing data series, any comments or updates should go through the moderators or author. Keep it going.

Cheers,
Ken.
