    They might be on the blacklist...? I'm sure Henk will let you know. They do look really cool though!

    agree with ferryman. these are black listed and will always be so .
    stay away from them. they can destroy tanks and ecosystems with ease

    i think if you google a bit, you'll find places where these creatures have already destroyed most of the surrounding ecosystem balances by multiplying too fast, taking over the local population and eating, breaking or messing up the flora of the area.
    they look interesting, but are not to be dabbled in
