  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I agree we need pics...
 
Here's a snap shot I took of him, he was being silly and covered himself in sand but most of it fell off before I got to the camera:

As you can see, he's a little beat up, but I will heal him:

A quick, glamor shot:

That's all I have at the moment as I was basically trying to get some quick snap shots to show you all his face. I will have a few more shots up within the next 24 hours, hopefully I can capture some full body shots, or some of him tearing something apart.

(If you're interested in pictures of the royal panaque, you'll know where to find it)

Oh, I found a picture of him and the panaque almost immediately after they went in the tank. In this picture, there's a bit of sand on him.

The panaque may look (somewhat) small in the picture, but like I mentioned earlier, he his several inches across. This guy can took some serious, serious beatings. He's been picked on by some pretty big fish. I'd say he's a real monster.
 
I LOST HIM ALREADY.

The guy told me my amphilophus would bug him for a few hours, then leave him alone. That, or the wolf would nip him and that would be the end.

My girlfriend called me at work in a panic, because it was belly up in my tank!

I almost cried!
 
YES!

I couldn't believe my ears. The guy who sold it to me is surprised, too. No one expected an Amphilophus to be the cause of death. He said he was laid back, but he should be able to defend himself while I go get some dithers.

Extremely bummed.
 
Yea thats odd, I don't see how it could take the wolf out unless the wolf was just extremely mellow or sick or something.
