Let me just reiterate what mean little bastards these guys are!!

Last night I rearranged some of my tanks to make room for some new fish. I ended up placing the two small lents that I picked up in Cali last month (3.5") in a 60 gallon tank along with two 5" Vampire Tetras. A 3.5" fish can't eat a 5" fish, right?

Son of a farging beech!! Came back from lunch to find one of the little bastards dragging a Vampire around the tank by it's tail. I took a net and thumped him on the head which made him promptly release the Vampire only to find that there is no tail left and a good portion of caudal peduncle is all chewed up. I don't know what the hell he thought he would do with the Vampire that was actually bigger than him but he was making a good go of it. Pretty sure I am going to lose the Vampire to boot.

These bloody lents that started off being such a great deal have cost me about $100 in fish!!!

Anybody want to buy some cute little fish?? :irked:
 
Crenicichla lenticulata

You seriously thinking of selling these guys?

how much lol

Hes already sold them to me...:headbang2 . That would be nice, really nice, but I don't think Marcus is gonna let go of any of his lents just yet, no matter how many fish they kill...;)

Bummer about your loss dude. When I had my SOLO lent at 5" he killed my 7" pair of chocolates over night. They are definately one of the most aggressive pikes...haha...especially for their size. If they weren't so bloody beautiful, very few people would keep them. Not all lents are horribly aggressive though...thankfully! haha

We all need to become a hoarder of Crenicichla. Taz is a cincta hoarder, Scat is a lent. hoarder, Rob is a sveni hoarder....hmm...Fish speaker hoards them all...haha. Won't even get started on MTN Pike...oy!! :ROFL:
 
i would be willin to take the risk with them you could let me have them really cheap and consider it savings in the future :ROFL:
 
man they are aggressive...peanut nice pickup
 
Ill take them next time you are in socal. Hell, Ill take them if you can ship them. Im serious. PM me.
 
Handsome little bastards though!!
