Well as some of you will remember i had a bit of a problem with MA at Syon park on christmas eve last year over a fish that the shop worker wouldnt sell me, well the manager Colin sorted it all out (very nice guy) and gave me the fish i wanted free of charge which i picked up last week and heres some pics now its settled in.

BTW its a flag tailed prochilodus to those who dont know.

Very nice looking CFC. A fair old size, too. What's the adult size of that one?

It's dead sexy, great fish.

D'you still hold with your theory about the digestive enzymes of imported Prochilodus being killed?
Hope this dude survives.

Why not go for a smaller one so you can watch it grow up and you would have it longer to?
