18 inch and you call it " little " ?

Btw , heard some bros say that its quite aggressive , and it take live feeders instead of pellets .

these guys arent aggressive, but their size intimidates most of their tankmates. they do eat feeders for the most part, but i try to get all my fish on non-live as much as possible

aiyo.. why take pictures of them when they are suffocating?

they are fine. theyre only out of the tank for measurement for a matter of seconds. its the only way to get an accurate measurement. i know what im doing and am very careful. dont worry about it

I tried keeing one albino in my IT tank , ended up it chased my smaller ITS . No choice , let it go ...

by IT you mean dats? i wouldnt keep a knife with a dat. too much stress for them

That's a mistake on my part , didn't expect my Dats to be o badly intimidated by the knife ... luckily no injury ...

the knife will leave them alone if theyre too big to swallow whole, but it will still scare the color out of them. even after you remove it, it will take a while for them to stabilize

i'm sure it took more than a few seconds... haha

and i don't think you need that accurate measurement as a home aquarist.

but oh well, these are just my thoughts.
it's your call.
and they're nice healthy fishes anyway.
