I'm not saying that you don't know what your doing, I'm just saying what I have experienced. Shovelnoses even the smaller ones have very large mouths. I had one that was 7 inches and tried to eat fish that were 5 inches. So an 18 inch one will try to eat anything that is smaller than it is. Even a 12 inch oscar.
