That's one cute little bugger! I'd jump on it in a heartbeat! I bet he'll color up really nicely once he's in a home tank.
I see then around a few places there was a tank full of em at a LFS around here they were like $20 somethin under $30 though i would get one but i've been lookin for another dwarf
What would be some possible tank mates for it? I have some big black tetras, loaches, some standard neons, and angle, and a discus...Would he be ok with that list? How about convicts? I know he is too small for all of my bigger tanks full of CA/SA cichlids...Thanks guys. He has been there for months, so I think they will be kind of willing to talk price...30.00 is too much impo for this guy...If I let them rip me off, of course they will take my money everytime...I like to be patient with these guys...
Even if he can't eat the whole tetra, if the head of the tetra will fit in his mouth ... I watched my male and female compressiceps chomp down on tetras way to big to swallow still hunt them down that way, capture them by their heads and suck out the meaty goodness. While it was impressive to watch, it was rather spendy.
They seem content with fish that don't start fights, but will deffinately fight back against pushy fish. Hard. As an example, my male killed a jd quite a bit larger than it. The JD kept starting fights with the compressiceps. Conversely, after the JD's I put in 2" dwarf acaras (Laetacara dorsigera) and unless they got near his cave, he left them alone. They were smart enough not to start fights with the pike.
