i have had 2 mimmichogs caught about 2 years ago from an estuary in my 20 gallon tnak they are huge now about 3.5inches and when i first caught them they were about 50 of them only to survived and they were about 1inch long. has anyone else herd of this before
 
do you keep them in saltwater? I have never heard of people keepong them in tanks, but I catch them all the time for fluke bait
 
i have kept them in my community tank frehswater... i catched about 10 of them and realsed ten but then only survived untill one jumped out the tank so now i have 2 in my 10 gallon with guppies mollies and swordtails they do very well if u add aquarium salt for freshwater
 
If you had 50 in a 20 gallon I'd be willing to bet the largest fish ate killed the inferior fish. This is pretty common (I've kept them until recently).

I kept my fish @ an SG of 1.012 and they seemed pretty happy. A very aggressive fish (I will not keep them again with tankmates).
