Another thing is that smaller rhoms are very skittish even more than red bellys.

You are going to be waiting a long time, you may just want to get a larger on before you go.

 

[Black Piranha]

well if tank size matters hes goin in a 265gal this july. hopefully hell grow faster

 

[Grosse Gurke]

It may a little, but he will be lost in that tank for years and years. Sorry dude, if you want a large rhom you gotta buy it large or wait for years. For your little dude you are looking at 5 years to reach 8-9". I could be wrong and welcome a different oppinion but they grow sssllloooowwww. I believe my 10 inch rhom is atleast 10 years old.

 

[Black Piranha]

man, well if u dont mind me askin how much u pay for that 10?

 

[Grosse Gurke]

I got a deal on him but I had to drive a ways to get him...I paid 230.00 for him and 4 cariba. you can get one for usually around 200.00

 

[Black Piranha]

well i am makin that big investment. the 265gal. but ill ask my local fish store. by the way where u located. i wouldnt mind a cariba or 2

 

[Grosse Gurke]

not for sale

 

[Black Piranha]

well my lfs cant get caribas in, so where are u located

 

[Grosse Gurke]

I am in wisconsin but I did not get them at a lfs, I got them from an individual. I have only seen reds, spilos, rhoms (small ones), and medinei. you can get them shipped to you if you are in a legal state from a lot of different people.
