The owner of the lfs got him in about 2 months ago for someone that never picked him up. The owner felt bad about keeping him in a 50 gallon because it would just sit in one spot except when it was time to eat. Every time i would walk in he would ask me if I wanted it. I would say yes but would not have the money. At first he was asking $300 and after 2 months dropped the price to $150 for me as I am one of his only regular customers with a large tank.
