Thanks for the support, I'll start again soon. This time I won't make the same mistake.
This was about a month ago in my 240 gallon tank.
Tank mates are parrots, tigers (both are 17"), clown loaches.
It was a green Asian Aro. It was only 4" when I got him, was 27" when he died.
Thanks for the compliment Cliff W. I don't know what to get next, thinking about a super red. But a cross back would look great in my tank. I'm going to take my time deciding. When I do, I'll post it with pics.
