Hi

I have one, as well as a couple other members.

I have mine in near full FW. Although care would be the same in marine and FW. Big tank with plenty of food.

They are usually a pretty agro species.

Would have been a nice jack before the men in grey suits took it away!

If I were you id start with the smallest one I could get my hands on. I've got one also and hes a bloody handfull! As Alex says, big tank/clean water and lots of good food and they are happy as anything.

Have had very little luck with tank mates though and as these fish get quite large not many people will dedicate such a large tank to a single fish that will attempt to kill you at every chance it gets.
