Been busy. Haven't been on in a while. Just bought a house. Look what was in it. in wall 75 gallon tank. Pleasant surprise since it wasn't in any of the pictures. It has a really skittish 4.5" conviction and I have no idea what it is.

That looks like a black shark, or labeo I think is its correct nomenclature...I'll maybe check after. If it is, they get huge and aggressive lol

Ok. Thanks guys. I'm going to rehome both. Then something else will go in. Not sure what. Next project is the biggest tank I can fit through the basement door.

Labeo chrysophekadion. If I recall, in the wild, they can get a fair bit bigger than 2 feet. The one we had in my dads goldfish tank was a notorious fish chaser. When he wasn't chasing things, he was hiding. He also appeared to really love eating slime coats.

I was amazed when I bought a 3 inch labeo and it beat up my male convict, BGK, and jack Dempsey.

I'm not even talking slight dominance, it well and truly kicked their butts

Very cool fish if you have the room. Pretty nasty the older they get surprising they can be kept with really small fish as adults since they don't see them as a threat, they have small mouths but kick some major azz. Mine outgrew my 5 foot tank a shame too because I really liked the black shark.

In the basement. As you come downstairs. It's really a good use of otherwise wasted space. I probably could put a 125 there with some minor adjustments.
