I'm really sorry to hear this Mitch.

I kept that species myself for close to a decade (9 years? I think?). Over that time it was responsible for a number of tank wipeouts. The last time the emotional toll was too much so in a fit of weakness I decided to sell it. Unfortunately it never survived the transition into a new tank so I felt responsible and sad for that loss too. Every time I see this species somewhere I feel that loss all over again. They truly are magnificent but such a cost to keep.

There was a time I might have washed my mouth out with soap for saying these next words but ...... 600g would make one incredible planted few tank!!!
