Just one foot

[Fish on Fire]

In the door to the plunge of cichlamania. Found an orino on my doorstep today. It's my first p bass. Looking good so far at 3.5".

(Thanks fishguy, currently watching vids on bagging fish for shipping so I can send her on her way tomorrow. )

Here are some shots of him in the tank.

He hasn't eaten yet, but I have a feeling that if I would have used feeders, he'd be really full right now. (He was eyeing and pecking at the corys that were in the tank, had to take them out.)

Has a nice green sheen to him already, though it's not very noticeable in the shots. Happy fish keeping.

Lol, no, sending my large female red terror to fishguy.

Oh yeah, any tips on keeping these guys good and healthy?

at that size id keep him on feeders like guppies or rosey reds till he fattens up (around 6-7inchs) then try and make the switch to pellets or dead food, keep the temp at around 82 to avoid ich and keep the tank oxygen high..

Lol, I'll see about that, just that shipping is as expensive as heck. I'll see if my lfs can get some in for me.
