diet?
availability? (heard they hard to get)
min breeding tank size?
not sure if this picture will post, but he has a pearly blue patch on his fin where females have the black. is he pure?

 

[AQUAMONSTER]

Not too hard to get anymore. Can be purchased by the dozens online and are becoming more common in LFS. A good pellet diet, with a tank over 125 gallons will be fine for a pair but will be hard to keep others in the tank with them

I have other tanks for my other fish, but i havnt had luck finding any online. Know any good leads or spots to start? I already posted a wtb in classifieds section guess ill give it some time

 

[fishman09]

diet: any good pellet staple. hikari, nls, omega one
availability: not too hard too find but people try to pass mayans as festae at a lot of stores
tank size: can be bred in a 75 till about 8" anything larger than that a 125 minimum imo

 

[RareExoticFish]

Diet - Tilapia, silver sides,shrimp, Pellets ( hikari, NLS, etc ) blood worms, But NOT feeders since they can carry a harmful parasite that will kill or harm your fish.
availability - Not to hard, it just depends on were you are located. You can easily get them online though.
Breeding tank size - 150+ gallons with good filtration and a temp of 78 - 82 degree's.

The only way to verify if a fish is wild caught is to flip it over. It should have a "made in _____" sticker on the bottom.
