That's right, he is here, i have him. he is great

I Think it is a scomb.

Name: Lucifer

These Pic's are taken at the store. Yes that is a feeder. i know, i will be feeding him rosie's and working towards beefheart. but i wanted to make sure he will eat for him.

more pics to come once he is settled into the hospital tank,.

are you sure there's not a hint of color on him.

also he is now in the tank, but there is no gravel. i think i may have to add some. he wont stop looking down and swimming around looking at himself. i don't want to stress him out. more then he already is from the long car ride. and moving into another tank


o and he was housed with a eel.
 
I would feel lucky if i were you, scombs are the more common payara species that most people end up getting. I'd prefer these Rhaphs over scombs & even tatauaia. Since i never owned one, Hopefully some experts can help you with care info.
 
well he was listed at 60-70, i got him for like 10,. since i know him very well and he owed me money got turning in my old red tail cuda.

talk about a steal
 
also, he doesnt swim on a angle though, at the store he swam flat, a very very minimal angle, and he dipped down just a tad when he ate the feeder.
 
Yeah,nice raph.One place out here gets them and sells them for thirty bucks.
 
damn thats high price i got 3 of em from a lfs for 45 smallest is like 3-3.5" largest almost 5"
 
Good deal.
