Hello all, thought I'd share some new pics. I feed my Rhinopias live damsels. Generally I keep them in a net and then the rino takes the damsel out of the net. The damsel got away from me, those damsels are quick. So as the Rhino hopped towards him I grabbed my camera to get some pics. I missed the lunge of the Rhino by a half a second. It's amazing to see the concentration of the Rhino staring the damsel down. The damsel looks like he's about to crap his pants...... Then the aftermath. The big yawn after a good meal and then a look of being a proud mean s.o.b. Just thought I would share. Regards, Tim

awww.. The poor damsel looks like it is scared to death. ( It probable was)
I have a thing for the black and white ones... never had a mean one that color.

I could never have a fish that I had to feed live food.
( Im such a pansy)

Those are my all time favorite fish. Too bad their price tag is more than my life insurance lol. I wish I had a fish to feed damsels to.

This is one of about three fish in 15 years of experience I can't get to eat frozen, and this includes 5 years at large LFS. Feeding live food would be the last thing I would do but watching the hunt is quite amazing I must admit.
Ricmaniac, I always wanted one too, and came across this one at LFS for a price that was as if I stole it. For what they generally go for I would never have one. If you look hard enough, you can find them at a reasonable price. Regards, Tim

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay?

Honestly I paid $200 for him. If he was $350-$400 I would of bought it. The LFS employee said 200 and I said put it in a bag NOW! Regards, Tim
