use to keep Oscar too, 2 of them... keep for about 6 to 7 yrs cant rmb already. when first brought it was smaller than plam size grow up to 20cm long.

feed on almost anything... bugs, pork meat, dired prawn, mostly pellet. found that only pellet make them less aggressive. Whenever they fight i will cane them and this stop them from fighting.

feel so down when they both leave me. Both die on the same day
