My closest LFS has had one of these for years - she is absolutely beautiful. Makes me see the attraction to big fish.

We have a couple of LFS in my area that has these fish and they're sooo very friendly! They follow you around the tank
One of them was in a 5ft bow front tank and he couldn't turn around in it Thankfully they've now moved him into a bigger tank but it still could be bigger for this beautiful monster to be more comfortable.
I love them to bits

Great pictures! Very impressive fish - although cute is not the word I would use. I reckon he's a fish only his mother would love!
