was checking out a few lfs that I rarely go to and spotted this guy beating the crap out of a slightly smaller female in a 20 gallon tank. so, I had to do the chivalrous thing and rescue the female (by buying this male of course :D ). honestly I don't think the female is going to make it...this guy did quite a number on her. he's now in a 30 gallon by himself. I was really impressed by how this guy looked, but was stunned when I spotted the price on the tank. he was only $15 and he's a good 5". other lfs in Indy charge $10-$12 for 2-2.5" lil devils.

:D

nice pick up
 
That's a nice Devil. They charge how much in Indy for a Red Devil?! :eek: That pretty pricey over here. They go for about $3 to $5 for a 2.5" over here (well...where I go anyways :D )
 
Good pickup on the fish....kinda makes me want to visit the stores i never go to...just to see if i can get any deals on cool fish
 
If he gets out of hand you could allways bring it over and put it in the "gen pop" tank. :ROFL:

I found him at Pet Corral in Beech Grove. :)

hey, what part of Indiana are you from? I ask because, I don't know if you've heard of it or not, but there's a new club called 'The Midwest Cichlid Association with a very young Indiana chapter. just thought i'd give you the link so you can check it out if you're interested. :headbang2
