I like the guy in reply #3. He's cool looking...

Just throwing out a random name that's in my head for him...knowing I know nothing about these fish I'm most likely wayyyy off.

Bocourti?

That's the truth. Back 20 yrs ago before I got back into fish I had about an 11" buttikoferi, he would kick the crap out of anything I tried to put in the tank with him and ended up being the only fish in the tank. Really cool looking fish but boy do they have attitude!

Yeah. I have had a few people. Say their jags would beat my budda down I just laugh. My budda is currently 16inches. And I would never. Intentionaly fight my fish.  Thus the 300gl tank I paid dearly for lol

Does the budda bit fingers?   Nice collection of tank busters.

As funny as it sounds I normaly have my girl friend watch as I clean the tank. The budda has bnit me before but I'm more afraid of the thi silk flowerhorn. He comes out of the tank to taste fingers also the pacu has niped e.  My girl friend has gotten pretty good at telling me when my hand or arm is being eyed for a taste
