Aba aba is 27" and the african lungfish is 28-29". The aba aba actually does not eat much compare to it size. Will only grab 5 prawns and that's it. Compare that to my 21" asian aro that will eat 10-15 large prawns.

That's the thing about stingray they get hungry fast. Skip a meal for a long time and they get skinny. My 27" ripsaw catfish will eat about 2 lbs of shrimps. Total food I feed all my fish is around 7-8 lbs per feeding. Darn this hobby is expensive!!!!

Thanks!!! Yeah a killer indeed. I got bitten many times already. I'm just lucky that I wear a thick gloves or I blood will be all over the place. Some of them just like to jump for food. Especially when I was away for a week and when I do feeding time, they just go crazy.
