| Hopefully things will work out better for you this time with the shipping and acclimation. For the money you spent with him last time he should be willing to do something for you. |

| sooo they were shipped to the wrong address again, lol, same wrong address though so i new where they were when the tracking said they were delivered but they weren't at my house. Pbass were alot more lively then last time, both bass and my sun cat seem to be doing well.
Funny thing happened, about a week ago i got 2 three and half inch firemouths as dithers for my 7 inch orino, so he wouldn't attack the 4 inch monos, well one of the firemouths is a dither the other actually went after my orino lmao and kinda won, this firemouth has all 4 bass on 1 end of the tank, the orino and the dom foremouth have little spats too, this tank is pretty entertaining these days, but i think im gonna donate the 2 firemouths and go get a couple big tin foil barbs, still deciding though
ill try to get some pics soon |

| Firemouths don't back down to anything and when they are threatened they will fight....I could of told you that from experience. I have kept a few over the years and they hold their own....their aggression is underestimated IMO. Good luck with the new Pbass, good to hear they arrived safe and look good. _________________ "There he goes - one of God's own prototypes - a high powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production.

ya i decided to just get rid of the mean one and keep the lesser, im actually pretty excited about my sun cat, cant wait till he gets big, i got him cause i didnt want a rtc but i still wanted a predator, plus they max at around 18 inches which is perfect cause then i can always keep him with my pbass (who will max at 18 to 24 inches) |

| Nice. What size tank is that they're in now? Had to chuckle at the Simpson's in the background, somehow I don't think Bart could resist coming up with something obnoxious to do to the tank.

ya the simpsons are great, there just in a 55 for now, im on a mission for a 125 right now, but not having very good luck, none of the lfs around here sell them for under 400 bucks (and thats just the tank, no lid or light) and i haven't found anything on craigslist either but i guess it wouldnt be a mission if it was easy lol
i have a 150 High but its only 4ft long so its not worth the trouble of setting it up for them |

Wow nice video!! Lovely PBASS! A little side note on the sun cat. I have kept sun cats in the past and they ate alot. But they grow really slow. So sun Cats are slow growers. Alex |
