There are no dumb questions, only dumb answers. Jabba appears to be very happy. Well done.

What happens to all the other fish in the 535 gal. when you add the fahaka later on? Like RTR stated "Fahakas do not have takmates, they may have swimming food reserves."..lol. So just thought about rehomeing any prized fishes 1st.

I hope he does not hold grudges, because they had him in their mouths 3 times. :lol: I might leave the biggest ones in there and sale the others. To catch them he has got to get much much faster, because they can boogie. :)

Instead of a musky or a pike trying to eat them it will be Jabba the patient fahaka, staking them. :lol:

Well at least he will have time to grow to large size in the 120 gal. and then maybe get his full size in the 535 gal. :D .

He has grown at least an quarter to a half inch just this week, he wants to be in that big tank :D , so he ate at least 50 snails, some frozen bloodworms and what ever he can catch in that 120g. the last 2 red crabs are hiding under a big boulder and a dozen ghost shrimp are gut loaded and are down to 8 scared Invertebrate.
P.S The 4 Clown Loaches and 6 Otos are fine and healthy and also getting bigger.

He is also perfecting his stalking skills on the ghost shrimp because they are very elusive.
