I had ZERO intention of coming home with a new fish today when I stopped in to buy some dechlorinator. I walked by one of the peacock/hap tanks and saw this lone male Dimidiochromis compressiceps (Malawi eyebiter) in it at about 6-7" long and showing some outstanding blue already. Since the LFS I visit does store reward points for every purchase I had already built up over $25 worth of credit in the past year so I used it to pay the majority of the price on this guy.
If you guys remember I had bought a Dimidiochromis compressiceps last year which I was not sure if it was a male or not, but lost it when a holding tank ammonia spiked on me. So I'm glad I came across this guy whom is a for sure male. He's currently in a 55g but will go in the big 265g once that is up and running.
