None of the local stores have updated livestock photos or livestock lists. I could be wrong, but I think the only picture you're going to find will be elsewhere on the web.

Seventy dollars is a fair chunk o' change, but Pisces isn't known for great prices (or holding facilities either). Normally the advice is to watch them in the store for a time, but in this case I'd say get it out of there quick. I've "watched" certain fish in their care go from a great specimens worthy of interest, to withered and doomed.

From years ago, the best luck I had there was if I saw a particularly good fish come in, I would grab it immediately. I assumed I would acclimate better than they would, and give the fish a better chance of long-term survival. OF course, some would dispute this approach, but it seemed to give me a better chance. If you look at their holding tanks, they aren't maintained.

Good luck with this one,

Aj
