the Office living in the now...
Here is the situation. I was wanting a good size Rhom to add to my collection and JP found someone selling a 10"+ Rhom in my state. We are negotiating a deal atm but I now know the living conditions of the sellers rhoms.

He has a 10" and a 11" rhom both sharing a 40g breeder. I asked him how come they are sharing tanks and he told me he just got rid of a 55 the 11" rhom use to live in so now he has to get rid of one:confused:. The seller told me that rhom's at this size dont move around much so they dont need a large tank:screwy:.

From the eggcrate seperating the two, here is a photo of the one I want to save. I hear both have busted up chins from trying to get to each other.

and here is this rhom's new castle if the deal goes through.

48x24x30 He will be King of his castle with victims once in awhile.

Poor Fish.
 
nice tank you got there man, hope you get to save one of the rhom...those poor fish.
it's gonna love that tank, you got the width and height there, prefect for rhom.
 
The deal has been made, I am giving him 250 + my 5" rhom. :D:headbang2:ROFL::naughty::grinno:
I am picking up my new rhom tomorrow after work. Its going tobe a 7 hour drive. I already have a name for him.

He will be called, "Lucifer..." :devil:
 
tell him give it to you for free or you'll report him to PETA :D

congrats on the purchase, it'll be one lucky rhom in your 150g.
is the tank already cycled or you gonna keep it in a smaller tank until it's cycled?
any idea on the tank decor? planted or just some driftwoods and rocks?

Lucifer is a great name :)

he should not get the 5"!:banhim:
 
that 5" might end up become a feeder for his 11", call PETA on him :D or he give you the 11" rhom free. 40 breeder would be prefect for the 5" fish you gonna give him.
 
what are you going to use to bring that Lucifer home?
