hey guys,i was at my lfs today,and my guy has just got in a tank of small longtoms.he was trying to sell me 1 to put in with my arrowana.
ive never had 1 of these fellas,i was just wondering if you guys have had one b4.
if youve kept them b4,what are they like.
ill probly pass on 1,ive red they can hit 1.2 meters.
plus the pics i seen of them on the net,the set of teeth these fellas get,makes them look mean as hell.
im not sure exactly what kind of longtom they were,they were all silver in colour.
but yeah one bad lookin fish,i hate for one of these guys to latch onto your hand...ouch!

If I am correct I have caught and seen several of these things. One actually jumped into the boat while we were motoring along and not slow at that either.

Take a good look at its teeth that will give you the answer.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

yeah i was thinking that when i was looking at them in the tank at my lfs.it would be cool to watch them chop down a fish.
speaking of feeding,when i was at dads b4,i watched my arrow gulp down a pinkie.
he swollows them whole now,he,he.

yeah at the rate my fella is growing,now that i think about it,the poor longtom,despite his teeth,will get hammered.
perhaps when im done with my aro,one day ill get a longtom,but for now ill pass.
