not really a tank buster but good size, the male is about 8 inches and female about 6. the male will bang the glass pretty well.

damn i like the polleni. I seriously want some fry if you get any.

[misplacedsooner]

ill hook you up if i get some fry, he finally let her come out after a couple of weeks in hiding. he didnt want to hurt her but has a very strong personality. he likes to bite sometimes.

[masroberts9]

haha, thats what i tell my wife, i just have a strong personality.:D yeah I picked up some (3) polleni not too long ago, but they all died within a day of each other. I never determined what killed them. the water was good (perfect really) and they seemed happy. how long have you had them?

[misplacedsooner]

the male ive had since june and the female i got from a friend in austin about 3 weeks ago.

[masroberts9]

oh man, lets pray for fry. im thinking they are mouth broaders. am i right on that?

[misplacedsooner]

Very cool fish.
