They get around 4-5 inches.
Mainly carnivorous, they'll readily eat insects, krill, shrimp, pellets, etc.
And yes, they can get aggressive.

Here's a profile I started to write about them:

ThatGUY i cant stress enough how its not good at all to impulse buy. You need to research BEFORE you buy an animal!

it grows to about 4 inches and is a tiger of the surface. It won't tolerate any other fish dwelling at the surface. It will eat smaller fish that fit comfortably into it's mouth and jumps pretty well so you'll need a lid... thats all I know.
