sorry they are not the best pics, iphone camera is garbage.

these were taken 2 weeks ago the day I traded him in. I was really disappointed because to me he was a great looking fish and alot of personality but he became way to vicious, tearing up all his tankmates fins and beating some to near death.

I know, it definitely was unusual, I actually went to the shop yesterday where I brought him and they put him in there monster tank with some huge african, his "donminant male" bright colors have faded and he was cowering in the corner. I really wanted to take him back lol but all my other fish are looking so much better since the badass is gone and alot more peace in the tank.

Sad to hear that an LFS would be so negligent with a beautiful fish as this...it does not make sense for a business to do this..... After all, if he is not showing his beauty they won't be able to sell him... that is if he isn't killed... :(
