hi, i think that i am going to sell my 7-8 inch xingu black rhom. i originally purchased this from a member on piranha fury back in january of 2008. he got it a 1.5 yrs earlier from aquascapeonline. it eatrs raw thawed out shrimp, pieces of catifish and tilapia fillets, and of course when there is live stuff added he eats that too. its just me in the house with him so he is a little shy. mainly sits in the corner when i am in the room. a while back my folks were licving here for a couple months and at that time with the constant flow of traffic he got over that shyness and would eat food as soon as i dropped it in the tank. now he has reverted back to being shy and it takes a few minutes for him to go get food. my niece and gfs daughter when over do get followed by him though. there heads just barely reach the tank where he can see them and if they walk by he shoots upo to the front of the glass and will follow them down the length of the glass. when i got him he did have to completely healed scars on his left side. i think these are heater burnes. they are healed and have scales but when kept on light (white) substrate and a light back ground they do show up as darker areas. i have natural rock in the tank and have my glass tinted on the back and he has turned a complete gun metal gray. you cant see the scars unless you knew they were there. im asking for $150 pick up only in the milwaukee area. i can meet a short distance away. im putting pics on here that i took. not very good. i had to adjust the brightness and what not so you can see the fish. unfortuantely i dont have pics of his left side of the scars.
