Tonight, after going to the bar with a friend and having a couple drinks, I headed over to Wal-Mart to pick up a couple things. I always check out the fish section, but rarely ever buy anything. For the most part, this particular Wal-Mart always carries nearly the same selection of fish as the local fish stores (same distributor). I was looking, and didn't see anything too special.
I did notice in the tank with the label of Jack Dempseys, plecos, and giant danios, there was a white cichlid with a couple dark spots on him that had a whole bunch of fin damage. It was a little bigger than the rest of the fish, but did not look good at all. I asked the person what type of fish it was, and they told me it was a Jack Dempsey (it obviously is not). Since Jack's are like $2 and change, I decided to go ahead and get it because I have an open 20 now.
So I brought it home, introduced him to his new tank, and within an hour, he was devouring bloodworms. I'm thinking he's a Red Devil, but I don't know for sure. All I know is, I got a really cool looking fish from Wal-Mart for cheap, and he probably would have died soon if I wouldn't have gotten him.
