Picked up this guy from TUIC.. I hadn’t done anything in the convict realm and kept seeing that HRPs were a little less aggressive on the whole and I really liked their coloration. So grabbed this male for my community 125 (Oscar, silver dollars, blue acara, rainbow cichlid). He was a bit rough on the rainbow so I pulled him out for the time being to set up something for the rainbow possibly.
Anyway this fish is both a looker and hilarious. I put him in the 125 with my 10” jag with a divider giving him about 1/4 of the tank. Within a couple minutes he found a spot he could slither through and apparently thinks he’s going to slowly claim the whole tank. Bolder every time. Anyway just wanted to share a video of him doing that and a picture. Side note - you’ll see algae on the glass.. I can’t seem to get it off? Tried a basic scraper. Any thoughts without me having to drain the tank? This 125 was a used “steal of a deal” off Facebook marketplace. Came that way.
