PARET.MENARAMBO"PINSTRIPE DAMBA" Did tfd spell this wrong?

That's about what they are going for online more or less and at least you wouldn't have the shipping charges to deal with....If you like it buy it.

But weren't these little guys rare? I thought they would be worth more than 25bucks even at only a inch

They are still rather rare.I have never seen them in any shops here and all rare fish don't demand huge price tags....fortunately.

Paretroplus do best in groups of 4 or more, and require lots of space. If not given space they can become very aggressive, and menerambo get large, over 14" in length with a high body to match.
A 6 ft tank is what I would consider minimum for adults, you may find menerambo alone in LFSs because the original owner turned it in, not realizing what he/she was getting into. Beautiful and amazing fish if you're prepared. But once you get a solid group hierarchy/dynamic, don't mess with it, often times chaos and death ensue.

Very similar is P maculatus

Dont worry, I will move him to my 180 when he gets bigger and if he outgrows that ill have to build a new custom tank.
So does that mean I have to get at least 3 more? Hes currently in the 5 gallon couse hes only half an inch
