I bought this guy from Vanimate and picked him up the other day. Immediately my distichodus sexfaciatus (the one I started a thread about because he was so shy) started attacking him. I thought maybe they'd get along but I was wrong. The older guy beat the crap out of this one and my smaller sexfaciatus and I had to divide the tank (which SUCKS - they're all so crowded now).
So unfortunately I can't keep him. I paid Ed $20 for him but honestly, if you can come get him today or tomorrow and give him a peaceful home you can have him for free.
These are terrible pictures but you can see the damage inflicted on the little guy in the first one and the marks on the lusosso in the second. The big jerk hiding in the third picture is the one who started attacking him from across the tank for no reason. I included this mostly so you can get an idea of their color. The smaller guy is a vibrant red, his big brother red but darker/duller, and the new guy for sale is much lighter, almost yellow.
He's very peaceful; was calm in his old home and didn't provoke or fight back here at all. So I wouldn't worry about his temperament. I think the other guy just didn't like having another fish his size show up out of nowhere.
Anyway, pickup only. I'm right in Chicago, at Belmont and Broadway, and free any time of day/night. This makes me sad but I just want him to get a good home.
