Yes thats it! I recently saw one in a shop that was in terrible condition. It was getting attacked by everthing in the tank (convicts, blood parrotts which were half its size) so i spoke to the owner and said that i thought it should be moved to another tank and he said that he put it in with the angels earlier but they didnt get on!
It had loads of scales missing (to the extent where it had almost no colour) and all its fins were split. If i had the room i would have rescued it. The sad thing is i made a special trip to the shop because i had previously been there and found the fish to be very healthy and the tanks well maintained (although one member of staff was very rude). Needless to say i didnt spend any money on this occassion. Out of interest how much do they normally go for? The one in the shop was £25.

Where in Kent are you btw?

I've never seen them in shops so I couldn't say.
