U guys want to hear the best story about this fish-
pretty unbelievable.
This feels like one of those John ( Copps) stories except mine was at an LFS w/o diving gear.
To make this 10 x more amazing here it goes.
I got the pair at a rather large chain of aquarium stores( nameless). The fish ate imediately in the store and while the kid was netting the male it JUMPED behind the tanks and I mean 6 feet tall cubicle to the floor with no access to the back except from the bottom, I almost had a heart attack, quickly i got in all 4 removed the wood cover and here he was flapping around, barehanded him and put it straight into the first available cubicle.
The MALE nonetheless! Waited about 10 mins looking at him and said to myself its been a while since Ive seen them so I'm gonna wait it out.
The fish looked labored breathing and beat up. Waited and waited until he looked "ok".
Here I am looking at a pair of fish that Ive ordered about 5 times ( w/o succes) since I lost my pair 2 years ago, I was not leaving them at the store!.
Took them home decided against QT due to the above stress, In my frag tank about 1 hr after introduction with no other fish around they where both eating like pigs.
Will c how this develops before I decide on QT treatment.
Crazyest thing I've had happened to me with a pair of fish I've been after for a while.
IN FRONT OF MY EYES THE FISH TOOK A DIVE FROM 6 FEET HIGH
I almost choked the vendor LMAO
Here's a quick iphone pic I took the moment I saw them .
