So picked up this little guy last night. He's a lot smaller than I thought he appeared at the pet store hoping he doesn't end up on someone's dinner plate. Though the larger fish have been mostly ignoring him along with some smaller festae. He has been scrapping with a festae about his size and unfortunately not doing a good job. I have a 40b just in case he gets too roughed up.

Old thread, but how did this guy turn out?
 
Unfortunately dead... He jumped from the aquarium

That's no fun. I'm sorry to hear that. How are the festae doing?
 
Festae are doing well. Great looking fish breed once already. I'm actually selling them though. They don't play nice while breeding with the other fish...lol

Where are you located at? My male needs a beefy female. He's gone on a murderous rampage recently. His aggression got ridiculous once he got to about 6".
