  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The first fish is a Diamond Rhom and the 2 is a regular black. I have kept both before and prefer the regular black. Prices are good too for either fish.

What did you like more about the regular? Besides appearance what's the difference? I ended up getting the diamond. He was too cool looking.

I just like the body mass of them and the slate gray color when bigger. I have had so many Rhoms and they are all awesome fish but love the look of the Peru's. Here is a pic of one I had a long time ago he was almost 14" in this pic. I'm sure some of the old P Fury guys remember this fish cause I had to do surgery on his lower lip cause it was growing over his teeth and making it hard for him to eat. Glad to hear you got the fish you like tho. It's getting real hard to find Rhoms here in Mi.

So you think 120 for that other one is a good deal? Maybe I should go get it I have an extra 75 gal. Your fish looked awesome. How long did it take to get that big?

Tail fins aka Ashes old store in Dearborn has a Diamond Rhom about 6" for $225 I think. Might be by there tomorrow to pick up a few Pbass I could get a pic and price for you if interested.

I bought him big but I had a blue Diamond I got at 4" and had him to 11" in under 2 years. Sold him to a P Fury member Blue flame. I still regret selling him he was in a 180 all by himself and was super active. I don't keep any P's anymore just a Hoplias Australis and a Ocellaris bass. About 5 years ago I had 15 tanks up and every tank had P's in it.
