Okay, I know i should put this in the buy/sell/trade area, but this fish pertains to cichlid enthusiasts only.
Now, before I get the well-needed lecture on why not to mix S.A. and African Cichlids (I had a moment of stupidity), I saw this fish for sale a few months back and it did not dawn on me it wasn't mbuna. The body shape alone should have told me otherwise.
Also--some info on this guy's personality. He is a bully, a jerk, a bastard-fish that will bite you the minute you stick your hand in the tank. He is one of the coolest fish I have ever owned, but due to my lack of research, and tank space, cannot keep. He will fight with anybody (he is always fighting with my mbuna's, who are ALL bullies...), he will glare at you from his 'spot' in the tank, and seemingly plot your death. He patrols anybody and everybody in the room....stares at you until you're scared. (he's a scary fish, I'd be scared to meet him in an alley...)
He has a HUGE MOUTH that will soon be FULL of teeth.
He likes to eat. A LOT.
He will be HUGE when full grown, so he needs a LARGE tank where he can be the sole inhabitant, or with other S.A. Cichlids of similar size, when he is full grown.
I suggest you DO YOUR RESEARCH before you decide to take him away from me!
He's a managuense, he will be a FOOT long, he is a FAST SWIMMER who splashes the crap out of you at feeding time. (Watch your hands though! He DOES bite!!!)
As of right now, he is between 4-5 inches in length, and is camera shy. The minute I came to the tank with the camera, the little brat hid. He's usually in the front of the tank, being a jerk.
Here are a few pictures, and if you are up to the challenge, PM me, or better yet, shoot me an email (jnevaril@neb.rr.com), and we can arrange a time for pick up or delivery.
I call him Pookie.
I apologize for the algae, he makes me afraid to stick my hand in the tank.
YOU KNOW YOU WANT HIM!!!
