I sold my convict breeding pair and G. terror for $10.00. I go to the lfs after the sale and see that they had 2" (3" if you include whiskers) Lima shovelnose catfish for $7.00, and they are always $20.00!!! I could not resist. Even better, I go to the feeder guppy tank, and see that by mistake a very nice looking 1" male varitus platy and 1" heavily gravid female swordtail were in there. I get them for 12 cents each!!! I am aware of the 18" max size of the shovelnose, and its preaditory nature. Right now its in a 40T holding tank with a bunch of community fish to large to swallow. from there, it will stay until large enough for the cichlid 55, and a 125 after that.
