    Tankmates I would suggest wouldn't fit in a 40g.

    Here's a pic of one of mine.

    Oh well! I may give it them a go once the tank is up and running next summer. I've been doing more research on this one particular fish than I have in my first year in college. haha I'm really interested in the Rhino, but there's a heavy price tag on them.

    What I have read so far... They have a short life span of 2-3 years, some have made it to 4-6 years... Is difficult as hell to get to train to frozen... Change colors (not too concerned about that because it is natural)...

    I'm thinking if it is really worth the money, time and effort to house one of these. One can only dream..

    Some change colors, some don't. Both of my frondosas did not. My eschy changed colors all the time and every color was AMAZING.

    You can see the frondosa didn't change to match his environment.

    The eschy loved to change.

    Worth every single penny. The price you were quoted was indeed a very very VERY good price.

    Those are some very nice Rhinos you have there! I may try my hand at Leafs and Lions first before dropping $250 and have no idea what I am doing. Haha Then from there it is probably a custom sapphire glass cube just for a Rhino!
