He's a super male and the most gorgeous fish I've had, that's why I'm struggling... Ughhhhh.

I've considered selling locally not outside he state.

Must be a beautiful specimen that you have. I agree that the 29gal would be too small for the fish.

Yes, he's a deep burgandy unlike most that I see. I guess it's just a matter of finding him a quality home.

I have a 120 going up now, I was planning on going with an 8 line.

Good choice, they quickly become the class of the tank. I tried to post mine flashing but I couldn't get it to upload.

I would NOT put a flasher in any tank less than 3 feet in length.

Its hard letting go of fish you've become attached to, but in this case I dont think it's in his best interest to be put in a 29 biocube. Just make sure you leave him with somebody you can trust to take good care of him. Good luck, and the 8 lines are beautiful it's no wonder your having trouble letting him go.

Here he is with his friends. Tank is in disarray due to sale of the right side rock work, but u can feel my pain...

He flashes without a female in the tank?

Still confused how the whole flashing works in absence of a female.

Seeing as you are so close by I suppose I really should buy that fish.

It's like flexing in the mirror. I wish I could drop in the video of him and the flame flashing, it's pretty cool. Hard to say who won that contest.

I'd sleep good knowing I can visit him and he's in a good home.

If I had an open tank I would be all over taking this guy as well.

How long have you had the Eightline?

I had a Carpenter's in a 3 foot tank...it still wasn't enough room, IMO. He had to stop short a lot.

Just for the record the 8 Line is now safe and sound in my 215.
