He looks like a nasty mofo.
Awesome pet, what would happen if you threw, say a mouse in with him?

He would definitely show ALOT of interest in it.
When I went to NZ for 2 weeks, I left some Molly's into he tank for him to feed on over the weeks, when I got back, he hadn't touched any. I think he was vegetarian.

recent pics of fish room, still setting things up, after the shift around, and 9 extra tanks.

Ok this is looking from outside the rolla door. Look at all that room, about 230cm across

Ok so the stand on the back wall, has four 3x2x18h tanks, and five 2 footers end on on the top

The stand on the right which will essentially be a fry grow out, will have three 2x2x18h tanks on the bottom two shelves, the top shelf will have a 3x20x20, and a 3.5 x 20x20.

thats an lp100 supplying heaps of air., and a 5.5kw mitsi heavy industries aircon maintaing 25degrees effortlessly through this heat wave!

On the mega stand on the left,
Bottom shelf: three 6x2x2, , in the middle will eventually be a 7.5 footer
Middle shelf:6x18x18, two 4x20x20, and will be two 3X20X20 (The last 4 need to be fixed up a tad, new front glass, fix rails etc)
Top shelf: 3x15x15, 3.5x20x14h, two 4x18x18, 3.5x20x14, 3x15x15

I will eventually make two systems, big stand top two shelves, and right side all tanks.

This is from the door on the right.

This is from the back right corner looking back up to the rolla door. yet to have an insulated wall built, thats next , after the sink is set up. the two tanks on the left are both 5x2x2

[MENTION=1769]trofius[/MENTION]; looks fantastic, you've certainly done things the right way, I have seen too many poorly constructed fish houses in my time and it makes maintenance a real pittb.

Do you ship your fish or only sell locally? It is an impressive list of fish you're keeping....

Cheers Ned.

I can send them anywere in the country Via AAE., but most people bork at the cost of freight, so mostly sell stuff when i go to Brisbane.
