www.monsterfishkeepers.com is part of the monster aquarium network (our family). I would post this picture there...I'm sure they could ID it right away.

I'm excited to see what they say and how big it's supposed to get!

Hmm at the end it says this
" Not in IUCN Red List (Ref. 53964)
Dangerous: harmless"

It sure looks like it would enjoy the fish you mentioned it eating..

65 cm in inches is......?

hmm, this would be a hard decision:

From fishbase:

Considered a delicacy over much of eastern Asia. Exported fishes command a high price (Ref. 12693). Maybe the largest species of the goby-like fishes.

Eat it or sell it?

i would sell it, somewhere in the hundreds, then go to the lfs and see if they have some more to sell
