I was at a Japenese resturant ordering lunch, and noticed an aquarium in the corner over grown with algae. Upon closer inspection, i realized that there was a lone GT in it that was about 4". I've always wanted one so i stood there looking at it waiting for my order when i was approached by a man who turned out to be the owner of this establishment. He went on to tell me this story about how he once had a beautiful display tank filled with plant life, Neon Tetra, and Zebra Danio's. He went to a LFS to look for more additions to his aquarium when he happened to see a little cichlid that he thought was attractive. He bought it, put the it into his display tank, and the rest was history. I went on to tell him how i've always wanted one and to my surprise, he begged me to take it off his hands free of charge. He even provided me with a container for it. I took the GT from that aquarium in the middle of buisnss hours, and he couldn't have been happier. I love this fish and has had it now for about 5-6 months. It's now alot bigger and more colorful thanks to the Hikari Gold that he eats. True story!C:\Users\Dus10\Pictures\2009-06-15\165.JPG

what an unexpectedly great trip to a restaurant!
 
Thats awsome! and hes a beauty!
 
I got to be honest, i did feel a little weirded out taking the GT in front of a bunch of strangers, but the owner had no problem with this and believe it or not, this is a pretty good place for Japenese food.
