Took the wife out for dinner....swung by the LFS on the way home to get some Seachem Prime....

Man this fish caught my eye and I could not let it go...lol

An employee there had grown and sold the store this Pearlscale.....

Georgous, very healthy/active fish.

$14.99, I would say it is every bit of 3.5-4".

I feel very lucky tonight.
:D

I didn't guess that you were a MFKer too. I am the guy at the fish store. I was there picking up some giant danios for my cichla.

He is a really nice fish, with a great personality. I'm glad that he found a good home.
 
Justin, man I was driving to work today wondering if you were a member here. That is awesome!

Yeah I dropped him it a 75 gal community. Was somewhat shy for the first hour or so. Then when I cut the tank lights off - really started to move around and mingle with the other Cichlids.

Today it is socializing great - not aggressive at all, and ate today at lunch with no hesitation or problems.

Let me know if and when your selling back anymore semi-rare/neat Cichlids! Your fish are quite healthy and very attractive! Just hit me up with a PM or something and I can meet you out there.

I am still somewhat new to the hobby but have really taken a liking to it. Pictures of Carpintis on the Web/Youtube was one of things that attracted me to freshwater. Just never been able to find them in the LFS's.
:D

I find most petstores won't carry many large SAs/CAs cichlids. I find more in bargain hunters or even better to order from breeders if theres something special you want. If it is a good petstore you can usually ask for a stock list of fish they can ship in, unfortunately the stores around my area will not do this. So i'm going to Spencer Jack.

Anyways nice fish you have there, can't wait till it gets a little larger, plz update with pictures.
 
Awesome man thanks!
