Thanks.. yes, he is a dd fish... I think only the 2nd in the country and 4th on the continent... I wasnt sure when I would get the chance again to have one...he is much, much larger than I would normally hope for but he is the only one avail...i got in touch with dd and Kevin was able to reduce the price to the point I was able to "pull the trigger." Once again, I can't recommend dd/la strongly enough...they are the best... and Kevin, Hannaha, and Chris...huge thank you~ TK |

he is a huge trigger...as far as lagoon trigs go, I have only seen 1 that was bigger...in 1991 I asked a lfs to get me an Assassi...they got me one that was easily a foot long and 2 inches wide...had to pick it up with 2 hands...went to Chinatown once a week to but 100 crayfish to feed to him....the Cinereus is almost as large...just a massive fish...was sent in 7 gallons of water and I had to acclimate him in the box that he came in...and the acclimation process was interesting...

 acclimating in the box...he came in about 7 gallons...that box is a standard 20.5 by 13.5 and he makes it look small...  he makes the other fish look tiny....  the Assassi is a big fish at 6 plus inches and very thick, the sohal is 7 plus...emp 6 plus... |

it is amazing what a huge fish can do to the overall temperment of the tank...the Sohal is not being such a pita today...i knew this was a big fish, but this is a huge fish..
