Got two WC Gold Head Comps for sale. Large one is 4"+, smaller one is just under 4". I've had them for a couple years, got them when they were both under 3" long. Great gold heads, larger one seems like a Male, don't know about the smaller one, they are now in a tank full of tropheus and need a quieter tank with the right diet. Asking $25 each or best offer, hard to find at this size, both eating and active. Just a little bewildered by all the tropheus!
Larger of the two.

Just picked these guys up and brought them home this morning. Drip acclimated for 2 hours and released the pair into a 20L quarantine tank where they'll spend the next 2 weeks. Their markings are fantastic and these have to be the calmest wild-caught fish I've ever dealt with. They're going to look great in the show tank, but I couldn't help snapping a few pictures as they were checking out their temporary quarters.



Thanks for the opportunity have them, Elbin!

Shoot you beat me to them! Those are great. There faces look like human expression. Nice yellow masks. I bought two alto calvus fry, slow to grow, seems like they arent growing atall sometimes.

Yeah, most of the Tangs are slow growers. That's part of what was so appealing about these guys - they're pretty much grown up at this point.

I fed them just a half dozen or so NLS pellets tonights and they ate - the little one right away, and the bigger one grabbed the last 1-2 pellets. They'll be limited to NLS while they're in quarantine because I don't want to overwhelm the sponge filter with mysis.

Can't wait to see them in the show tank.

Thanks man. These guys are a real nice addition to the tank.

Oh yeah. In fact, Jim's decided to go in a different direction with his tank so I've got more hara's than I thought. :-)

well lets start talking price sometime. gimme a call tomorrow so we can start hammering some of these details in stone. gotta know how much all this stuff is gonna cost me in the long run. (getting filters ideally friday, stand is nearly complete, and substrate + rock is here already, plus getting some stock from jim and goblue) also curious if you ever did go through with that group buy for that elongatus. ive always wanted some and that was a killer price.

Thought I'd provide a little update on this thread. The pair have now spawned, and at least some of the eggs are viable. Unfortunately they've spawned under a rock rather than in one of the shells I provided, so it's unlikely I'll be able to save any of the fry. Sad
