Thanks for the quick responses guys. I will do some looking into everything mentioned so far.

And as soon as he quits being shy I will post more pics of the little guy.

He looks very much like a Venezuela to me. They're great fish, and very vicious at that! I definitely miss mine.

They're very shy at first, but this does not last ;)
 
He has only been in for a day now. How long will they sulk for?

Mine did so for about three or four months. I thought that he, and the entire species was a timid, and quite fish. However, I was proven wrong. The viciousness was soon activated, and I soon found out how powerful these fish really are.
 
What did yours accept for food? The lfs were I picked him up Saud he was eating flake food. I offered blood worms last night and they just landed in him, but when I shut the lights off, walked away for an hour then came back, blood worms were gone and he had a full belly.

Mine would not accept flake food at all. He would eat cichlid pellets, blood worms; but it came to a point where I was having to buy feeder fish, because that's all he would eat.
