I picked up a female RD last week that was in a tank with a butti. She was holding eggs and her tube was out. I put her in my 240g, and she is quickly becoming one of my favorite fish to watch. I thought I would pick her up a male to see what would happen....and this is what I found today. This guy is just a bad ass.
As soon as I started floating him, she came up to the bag and wouldn't leave that spot. When I released him, she followed him everywhere and would not leave his side. He is a bit smaller, so I took him out after an hour or so and put him into a 55g alone.
Anyway, he is just stunning to look at and he has a ton of personality. The store had him listed as an RD for $18.99. I had him bagged and then another worker came over and started arguing with him, saying it was a flowerhorn and should be $29.99. I tried to stay out of it, but they decided to call the owner. He came up with calling it a white flowerhorn at a price of $16.99...and he said he would bet his store that the fish wiould be ID'ed as exactly that. All I know is that it is some sort of hybrid.
