7" pink con is a good size.  Did you get it when it was small?  Sounds like you've got a good mix of chow.  Just go easy on the rosies. You have a large list of fish.  How many and what size tanks do you have?  Any pics?

They will eat most things - trial and error though go easy on live food.

Hey bjl.  I was in Milwaukee not long ago and went to unlimited.  Cool place!!  I like that 1000 gal tank they have.
