Hello everyone, I was hanging out with a buddy on Monday and we were near the last lfs in town that I haven't been to yet.
So we go inside and I don't expect to see much, I see some cool arowana, and as we're about to leave, a tank on the very bottom of the wall had flowerhorn In it, and being a fish I've always wanted, I kneel down and take a peek, I see some nice little fish, but one of the four comes out pushing all of his tank mates out of the way and starts staring me down, he was also the most vibrant of the bunch to top it off, and at 8.99 I couldn't resist. Funny thing was I left my wallet at home all the way on the other side of town. Long story short I made it back within the same hour before closing and got my little guy. This is a pic of him when we got home on August 7th.image.jpeg, now within the same week, I can already see some kok growth!image.jpeg, I just added an led hood and water change so his colors are kinda dark but I love my little 8 dollar guy!
Oh and I'm feeding him Hikari Bio-Gold Plus and Hikari Blood-Red Parrot Plus.

Here he is now, I named him Chucky, I’ve had him for 2 months now :)

Sorry for bad lighting, in the process of making some light fixtures for tank.
