First off I want to give a big shout out to Jeff! I called him kind of late yesterday about this fish and he still got it sent out in time to have it to me by 10:30 am this morning!

Packaging was awesome! The heat pack was still hot, even though its around 20 F here in nebraska. The cats in great shape and ALOT bigger than it was listed as. Sold as 7-8", closer to 9-10" on my measurement.

Here are a couple pics to share while he drip acclimates. More to come when he gets put into the tank!

Awesome. Really cool fish. Supposedly tough to keep with others, though, gonna have tankmates?

Rapps is the best.

Rapps is the best.

He is going in with a couple larger cichlids. 7" rose queen and a 6" lyonsi. And about 4 really small nicaraguensis...don't really care if the nics get eaten. Lol. They were only $1 a piece. I've got some medium sized clown loaches in the tank as well. I'm gonna keep an eye on them for a while and move them if i have to.

I've heard aggression is hit or miss with these guys.
