LMFAO!!!!! If you really wanna get rid of him get a school of pirhanas! btw, how big is the bass? I just got one a few weeks ago, about 3" and a smallmouth, about 4" and there AWESOME
5" electric blue M. johanni $20. A local brought it in to the lfs. I was keeping M. auratus with convicts without problem, so i figured if they are so close a species to the auratus, this would just be like a bigger one. whatever i could do to talk mysel;f into buying him. He had a perfect balence of vibrant metalic royal blue and black, that didn't bleed into eachother. It shreaded the fins on my convicts to no end. I geuss it was just being an affricxan. wish i could have kept it
I've had two "worst" purchases.
1. A murray cod that I bought at 2". It did nothing but hid all day, and only came out to eat his tankmates when we weren't looking. Within 6 months, he was 15", and had demolished his way through over 1K worth of tankmates, including 2 leichardtis and a silver.
2. A 20" jardini. Didn't do my homework, so you can guess what happened. Went on a killing spree, in the process clearing the tank of a pair of much loved breeding dovii, a 12" blackbelt, 12" leporinus, oscar, synspilum and festae. Only surviving tankmate was a beaten up pleco

That sucks... I bought an EBJD about a month ago and its doing ok.. I have it in a little 10 gallon on my desk... grows so slow... I paid $30 for one... at one inch!!! I am so worried about putting him in my big tank eventually...
