Yup you have a grammodes there. I'm supposed the deppii are shy and the grammodes aren't. It should be the other way around. The deppii will grow much faster than the others.
Nice pick ups and love them.

The deppi arrived in really rough shape. Split fins, scales missing, and just overall all 3 I got were beat up pretty badly. Plus the water was nasty by the time they got to me. They're still healing up but I'd imagine once they do, they'll be a little more outgoing. Once they come to I'll get some pics. The grammodes are always out and about. There's clearly one dominant male that has claimed a clay pot and hangs out around that a lot but other than that they are very active. I used to have a 6" male grammodes probably about 10 years ago and it was an awesome fish. Tons of personality
I just purchased a group of 5 Green Terrors. I am most excited about this Guy;
At maybe 4" he is becoming the boss of the tank and getting really nice colours. I keep him with 3 suspected females and 1 suspected sub-dominant male. The plan is to eventually have a harem!
I tore down my tank, sold all my stock, set everything back up with new aquascaping, all so I could grow out a group of GT's.
Every time I watch the tank and see this guy I know it was worth it. And I'm glad I got the fish as unsexed juveniles rather than the stunning 6" fish I saw in my LFS. Growing them out is really fun.

You will soon have more Haitiensis than you can coupe with. Beautiful fish.
