I was at Pet Supplies Plus (small version of petsmart) a few weeks ago and I decided tro check out their fish. Typical big store, lots of mollies, guppies, and other bread and butter fish(don't get me wrong, I love community fish but I just don't have a tank they could survive in). Anyways I look into the cichlid tank and this guy was in there. They also had some crenicichla... very surprising. So I look at the Cichlas price and it was $4.99. End of story. This guy was coming home with me. It has been pounding guppies and baby mollies like no other. These fish hit hard(even at 4"). Again, better pics will come soon. I was just snapping a few photos real quick when I had the chance.

This is the first one I plan to keep for good. I had a few in the past but they were not mine and I did not keep them long.
 
thanks.:D
 
Good pickup and great price. Enjoy him. Bet you can't wait til he colors up.
 
he is a green color but the flash washes the color out. I hope he turns real green/yellow when it is bigger. That would be nice.
 
That is the plan. from mini to monster
