Wooo-Whooo, got my FM & JD!

[Lady G]

Ok, so I was in Springfield (about an hour from home) today and decided to check out the LFS there, since I don't have one in my area.
I found my Jack Dempsey and Firemouth, I had been wanting them for so long now and am so happy. I got 1 JD and 2 FM! I got a couple decent pic's of the FMs but the JD is proving to be hard I got a couple but they are not the best, will post them for you to see. If I can get some better pic's I'll post em!
I was able to get frozen beefheart, krill and bloodworms and picked up some live black worms and a "kit" to try and grow them. I have never used black worms before and hope I can "culture" them any advice would be great. I thought there was a article about them here, will have to look it up, oh and he gave me a cone feeder thing to feed the black worms to the fish.

Looks like one to me. Pretty sure of it.

I am trying to get a better pic of him (the JD), but he likes to hide behind the filter, in the driftwood and the rocks ALOT, it is very hard to get a pic. If I could get a good pic of his face area, you could tell a little better. He was the darkest one in the tank, and I just liked his look best. Hopefully I'll be able to get a better pic soon, he really is a looker. (IMHO)

I say he, but really have know idea of the sex.

He is a rope fish/reed fish, I think there are a few names it goes by.
