I have in the past. What did you want to know about them?


Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Unaware of how large they got I had 2 in a 55g. They got to nearly 30 cm in my tank and then I found a new home for them. They were not fussy eaters. They were feed sinking pellets, frozen bloodworms, beef heart and they scooped up left over flake foods. If you are going to add frozen bloodworm blocks make sure you defrost them first. Mine used to take the whole block if I didnt. I also found they used to make a croaking type noise at food time.
