  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
$35 is a good price, being a finger chaser..that'd be priceless. If you got him in a 10 gallon, you'd have to upgrade to something bigger at least a 40 gallon if he's 3-4 inches.
 
bigger is better, but a 3-4 incher is fine in a 10 for a short time, and is a great price, go for it, the bigger the tank the better, but get ready for the fish to not be as agg. in a larger tank and take time to get used to it before it acts its normal self
 
Blacks below 8-10 inches are white or silver with black spots and do not usually have a red eye, every one i know was or is very shy below 8-10 inch, 10 inch is the magic number they begin 2 darken get a red eye and take almost no interest in human activity. the ods are it is not a black but a spilo but blacks are so hard 2 identify below 10 inches as i found out 2 my expense , have owed 4 other 'blacks' turned out 2 b two spilos a eigenmanni and an as yet unidentified! the last fish now owned by friend is 5 yrs old and six inches long ! chases finger all day long. The way 2 get around other species posing as blacks is 2 buy big as poss or study hard . but remember small blacks are not black or even dark.
