As you can see it's a very aggressive eater. More predatory than anything; it's almost like a colorful barracuda. I guess no more neon gobies, shrimp, or small fish for my tank.

It hates lights too and will hide and won't eat if I turn them on. Very very neat!

That was PE Mysis, but it really doesn't matter what I feed it. It eats everything that way.

Ok, I just checked the pricetag here in switzerland. Nothing more to say
But very cool to see one here. I think the fish could not be in better hands than Wayne's!

Always exciting to see your new additions Wayne.
Best of luck! - may as well have received an autographed copy of green eggs and ham
Funny I was feeling guilty for ordering a lineatus and Golden rhomboidalis together. Now i feel like I am getting guppies relatively speaking.

Thanks guys. I'm really excited about this fish. It's definitely unique. I've seen pics of pair and hope to pair mine upto see how they interact with each other. I bet they hunt in packs.
