I picked up this guy from Pet Smart as a Texes Red at a little less than 1" in length at the time.
Introduced him into a 90 gal tank along with a female juv JD/female firemouth/female convict.
The tank already had Rosy barbs and Tiger barbs (mainly as dither fish), the can hold their own compared to some dither fish, also 5 giant danios.
In a very short period of time this fish was turning into a tank killer - is it truly a Texas Red or as some of the other threads regarding TR's from PS was it mis-ID'd and something else?
Here's the killer
Right now it is about 4" and is showing no signs of slowing down - he/she will easily consume 10 rosy feeders in less than 24 hrs.
Thanks in advance.
Up'd the temp to 82-84 degrees, it definately helped with the fishes activity - became much more active.
Feeding high quality pellets 3x per week, beefheart 2x per week, 30% water change 1x per week.
Here are the reuslts for far.
Looking more and more like some form of midas - thoughts guys?
