yeah I've seen them at this one petstore I ventured to. My buddy has one in his 55... Dunno what he's planning on doing with it when it gets bigger.. honestly smell a fish fry in the future.
Are these the 2", $6 ones?

You do realize regardless of what it will be you'll be left with one in the end. Or possibly none if that one suffers from severe wounds and can't make it. Not to sound rude, but for the fishes sake you should have some self control and try not to make impulsive purchases in the future. And you already bought two wyckioides, which will both need huge tanks down the line to thrive and possibly separate ones at that. If you have the means to get them that set up, then I can't wait to see it, other wise, be a little more responsible, it isn't fair to the fish to rely on someone else to take them down the line and possibly not have adequate space for them either or have the knowledge of these fishes capabilities.
I'll let Moe play the bad cop but he is not wrong, you know.
Please, tell us you will have seven 400+ gal tanks for these awesome fish down the line!
When I bought four 3" wyckii, they had been fine until ~5" then started fighting, first lightly but progressively worse. I did already have two 1.5'ers in a 4000 gal community pond though and a dozen of tanks running in the house.

But now he has fish that will likely kill one another just as you do if he can't house them separate. The wyckii are the easier ones to manage obviously growing slower and smaller, and also claiming less territory, and possibly being not as active till lights out. I don't mean to be on anyone's back, but we have warned you of their nature and their requirements, and it isn't us just guessing. And I'm glad you're interested in them and able to find them, but buying more than one of a highly solitary fish, without mention of space for even one large adult, is irresponsible and unfair. I'll say no more on the matter, as I don't like to be "that guy" so to speak. Just try to be more responsible in the future.
I see you found some congrats, im lucky i checked your thread before i pm'd you that one of the LFS got some in.
