Nice fish, I had 2 but lost one and the other one turn color mostly blackish looking now

Russel that blackish is the male color,the females and juvies are this color..if you get a female get at least 3-4 or he will run her to death.and he'll et very aggressive with all your other fish

I made that mistake of only having 1 female and man did he run her all over the tank, constantly!!!

That's what I was think..I need to pick up another one...

so need to get 3 to 4 female

yes you need that many or he'll harass the crap out of her! where are you located?

Iowa, mid west

what part of Iowa?

Carroll co. about 90 min. west of Des Moines

we get over to the west part of Illinois to Princeton,IL area Exit 56 thought if you were close enough I could bring some w/me when I go there in mid February.gonna be there any way and already transporting about ten of them anyway. Is that right on us 30

yes hwy 30 runs thru Carroll but I live about 25 out side of Carroll in a little one hourse town called Coon Rapids, the offer sounds good but don't know where work will take me from day to day.... LOL

Plus I have my son home on leave for two weeks before they send him back to Iraq

i know where that is !!! I drove semi trucks cross country for 7 years. i have been through or close to it.

well gotta respect that, and thank him from my family for preserving our freedom!!

Thanks I will do so...
