New* Black Nasty Cichlid

[King-eL]

Got myself a black nasty. Used to have two but the female died of worms. I thought it was bloat but when it died and I cut opened the belly a curled up worm was found inside the belly. Now I got left with this 8" Male. Getting another female soon.

I was pleasantly surprised that they are so highly prized among many, rightly so.

Due to the fact as most of them are hard to find and some just recently been discovered.
