Any idea how long or its age it takes 2 hit tat size? I guess in the wild mayb yes ba...in captivity unless u hve a big pond, if not quite hard too. Can't imagine your 3 PNT all 23'' swimming in your tank.

Hi all, like to see if u all keep sucker fish together with ur PNT? If not, what fish do u use to clean the left over food in the tank?
Sucker fish is the no1 enemy of my PNT (they love to suck on PNT) and will cause wounds on PNT...

I have a colleague who used 2 com his pnt wif sucker, in d end, the sucker suck the shell till can even c thru the shell, v scary. It took quite some time 4 d pnt 2 heal back 2 original self. U can keep clown loach, or perhaps fishes like smaller species of catfish such as spotted raphael catfish, bichirs also can.Can do a search here in bottom dwellers, some here also com with rays.

i have a pacu, 3 parrots n 1 FH to clean up the leftover food of the PNTs. but most of the time is they snatch food with the PNTs.
