My new little...big guy

[rojowe]

Picked him up today from my LFS, really nice dark color with a nice bit of irredescent blue right behind his gills.
Only about 2'' right now but I know he is going to be a MONSTER
Housed in a 90 gallon for now, hopefully in the summer I will have him set up in a pond, looking to get into a house next year and build a pond.
Right now he is with:
5'' JD Cichlid (not a bully at all)
8" Pleco (need ID)
4" Clown Knife

paroon, right? sweet cat.

 

[rojowe]

yep, paroon
I had an ID Shark but he was to timid and spooked to easy. This guy is a little beast, unfortunately his belly is huge cause the lfs fed him really well so I havent had a chance to feed him yet. Cant wait

 

[uncwnells]

good luck with him, in time he will be a monster!

Nice

You got a nice little monster there buddy, eventually he will become your beast

 

[rojowe]

well he isnt going to be a monster after al...just got home from lecture and half his face is gone and his fins are torn up. it must have been the jd cichlid cause its about a perfect match to his mouth size.
this sucks cause this guy cost me $20
guess i learned not to put diff sized fish together

I went to my LFS and I told em what happened, he hooked me up and gave me another for free. I also took back the JD. I realize I would rather have several fish that can live together than have a Cichlid that tears everything up. Now I'm just sticking with oddballs.
Anyway...cant wait to see this guy grow into a monster. This guy had a full belly of feeder guppies and i went to feed the other fish and he munched down a pellet on top of the guppies, his belly is huge right now....lol
hes awesome
