I have a wild caught "Peruvian Port Acara" and it has rather drab colors and always has. I know one thing for sure is that wild caught fish (for me atleast) will eat like they will never be fed again. They deffinatly stuff their faces as fast as possible and with as much as possible. In the wild they never know when their next meal will be.

Well mine used to slam into the glass trying to get fingers and he would try and kill the algea scraper whenever it moved. He has learned not to go for fingers anymore though.

[Chad55]

Well I don't have any pics of him attacking the algea scraper thing but I do have some pictures of him. He isn't at my house anymore though cuz he is staying at a friends of mine. He almost killed my 10" marbled pim so I am selling him.
