Leo,

You mean the Bigmouth Banker right. This is a schooling species with all the
charm of a school of piranha. They feed on sake and raw fish laced heavily
with wasabi. Should one be caught they will go into a self destructive
feeding frenzy and attack the wounded individual. They have been known to
attack female bathers during mating season and when their nest is
threatened.
