$12.99 rare find

[Zeppelin3k]

I went to a lfs that i have not been to in a while, its kinda like a petco and is a chain store. I never go there beacuse they only carry the same fish all the time and when one is fish shopping one wants something diffrent such as me. So i walked in and found this guy in a tank unmarked, the guy that worked there actually pointed out that its a payara, which shocked the **** out of me. I asked him the price he said 15.99, i decided not to buy it yet because i look and research my fish before i buy it, so i come home search mfk a bit and figure that i want this bad boy now, so i wake up at 8am and was the first customer in the shop and i bought him! there was a diffrent guy that bagged him up, he was looking on every tank for a price on him, i said..."i came here last night and was told that he was 12.99" idk why i didnt say $5 i dont know why i didnt say 15.99. i set my own prices. Anyways, so i get this guy home and i already like him, he was in a 30 till my red jewel was picking on him, so hes in a 20 till he grows a bit, but damn he mows down those roseys, hes a beast.

Sorry for the crappy pics, i just bought my g/f a new cam so i will test it out soon


What is the growth rate on this guy? i read that 11inches is hard to achive alive, and that they dont get TOOO big. any truth to this?

hydrolycus scomberoid, aka vampire tetra. this species is known to die at a young age and be very prone to ick. be very careful with his water quality, and make sure ur feeders arent sick. sweet fish though. if u like him u should find a redtail, they are more hardy and live longer.

Thanks, his water quality IMO is perfect, and CRYSTAL clear. what kinda growth rate should he have? and what will he top out at?

dont blame him on the price, it wasn't even marked and the guy from the day before could have made up the 1499 or whatever...

nice fish and good pickup.
