this was sold to a friend about a year ago as a jd but when she gave it to me two days ago i knew it wasnt. its very mean and is kept in his own tank, but what is he and could i put somthing in with him? his previous owner said he killed everything in the tank except a lion fish that i have in my 90 now.

what are they worth? he's about 5" now. any ideas on what i could keep with him. hes in a 29 L.

 

[fishwolfe]

well i don't know how much hes worth?do you want to sell him?males can get to be 12" or so.he will need a larger tank in the future.as far as tank mates go,i wouldn't put anything in there that you want to keep. a pair of Texas's would take a 55g as their own, so you really need to think if you want to spend allot of $$$ for this guy.

It looks like it might be a Texas Cichlid. I have one large one and it seems quite similar to the one in the pic.

Yes, it's a texas, though I can't tell you which one, but the tank you have him in is way, way too small. He should have at least a 55gal tank.

i agree the tank he's in is too small. i had him in my 90, but he terrorized everything in it so i had to move him and all i have is the 29g for now.
