Apparently they special ordered it for someone a few weeks ago and they never picked it up even after a call back. They haven't been able to sell it because no one who has been interested has a 75+ gallon tank. I feel kinda bad for it and they were asking 12 bucks, pretty cheap compared to what I've seen. He's currently about 7" so I don't think the cichlids will kill him right away if I were to put him in the 125. They are fine with my danios and generally ignore them.

I think it's one of these, I couldn't find out much info about if it would be compatible at all, some people said yes even with africans, mine are nowhere near that crazy:

I can feed it guppies, convicts, bloodworms, and snails for now. Can they be pellet trained or no? I also have some tetras that may be a tasty snack for it. When in doubt I can make another divider for the 125. A bit worried about the whole jumping and beak bonking though.

Should I? Or nah? I'm thinking I can pawn it off to someone on here too. I just don't want it ending up in a bad place or stuck in that display forever because it seems like fish people rarely head in there even though the fish there are usually well cared for. It's the petco in north clairemont if you are in SD and want it. Interesting looking guy that's for sure.

:eek:
