I can see that from the picture since you mention it, but definitely did not look like a JD in person. Maybe I can get a better pic
i can definitely see salvini. was feeding the second it hit the tank and on close look, really bright red tai and belly and really nice bluish pearling througout. i tried some pics but flash makes it tough and i'm leaving the lights off the rest of the night for acclimation
I wouldn't say unfortunately. It's a nice looking fish, good personality so far and cost less than similar sized fish that in my opinion didn't look nearly as nice
I'm getting to the point now, I'm just not even going to LFS anymore. CA Cichlids in LFS are SO sorry, tanks are bad, fish are sick, no clue what the fish are, they can never tell me where they got the fish they do have. I travel for work alot, and I've been to LFS all over the Southeast, and they're all like that.
What I can't understand is, how do they sell coral and marine fish? If coral takes more care and more attention to water parameters, but these LFS can't keep CA cichlids in stock and healthy....how do they keep all these corals alive?
They do seem to sell LOTS more marine tank stuff, that's for sure. That's odd, too. The hardest, most expensive, and most labor intensive part of the hobby is what seems to be the most popular--why?
I'd say that's a cost vs reward talk there...that's the way most of the LFS I visit are. The saltwater section is pristine and the freshwater side falls to the wayside. More money to be had, more care taken.
