Just to highlight once again. It is illegal to Sell or Buy a PNT now.
However if you had bought one before the ban, you are allowed to keep it.
The PNT you bought back then should now be around 8-10 inches depending on growth rate and size of housing.

1) This is dependent on the PNT's personality. Some are known to be killers and nippers but from my experience, they only attack injured or dying fishes or really slow fishes (Didn't face problems when housed with a Gulper cat though)

In my case, I had more problems of my fish injuring my PNT than the other way.

2) No. PNTs can grow to a shell length of about 70cm. You will sooner or later need a pond.
