Yesterday on craigslist I found an ad for a free 6 inch parrot cichlid so I figured I get it and trade it in on something else, I talked to the lady giving it away and got it set up for me to come get it. Well when I get there the tank is a 10g and you can't even see thru the tank its so nasty, she says its in that cave so I reach in and remove the cave and to my surprise there's 2 fish, a foot long speckled catfish, and what she was calling a 6 inch parrot cichlid but what it really was was a 10 inch long red devil. I was stoked!!!! I have it in my 55g right now but will move him to my 240g in a few days just to make sure it doesn't taint my other fish from being in that nasty water. Ill takwe pics and post them up laer on...the devil is in great condition for being in what is was in. I don't think I'm trading this beauty in...its got a forever home now :)
 
Nice save. You get the catfish too?
 
Its funny, I thought about getting that fish too. Glad I didn't, don't have a tank to accomidate a RD that size as my 220 is pretty overstocked as of late. But I had a feeling it wasn't a BP from talking to her. Congrats!
 
nice devil, i bet he's glad to be out of that small tank, was it really a 10 gallon, i bet he couldn't turn around in there.
