Opinion on a Tusk!

[johno4]

A LFS has had a tusk in for over a month. It appears to be a Indo not an Aussie based on the color but the employee did not know where it was from. I am ok with the fact that it is non aussie and I think based on the fact that it has been with them for over a month it is healthy and past the "sudden" death that some of these fish suffer from. They are asking $109 for it. The down side is that they have been feeding it live feeder guppys. Do you think this sounds like a good investment or should I pass on this fish? I would really like some opinions.

Just grab him. I wouldnt worry about it since its only been a month.

Do you think that Im safe to assume that it must be pretty healthy based on how long they have had it?

 

[johno4]

anyone else think I should get him?

If it's that expensive it might be an Australian. It's a bit much for an Indo I think. Maybe its colors aren't great because of the petstore environment and the crappy food its been eating. If you get it just be quick to feed it the healthiest foods you can.
