Went and picked up this little guy today he is only about 3.5" but will soon develop into one sexy fish. Here is a few shots of him. I wonder who else went and got one of these today?

Acclimatising

In he goes

And his home.

Nice pick up mark

Once he's grown he'll fit in nicely to your collection 8)

 

[mark7616]

Oh yes just got a bit of growing to get him past the food size lol.

Mark, did the bog wood colour the water in the end in your main tank?

sorry its off topic

 

[mark7616]

Yes it did mate.

 

[cane76]

looks good mate
the tank cleaned up ok too

 

[T1KARMANN]

no messing about with that tank set up super fast

you will be shocked how fast they grow

i know prawn sounds like a good idear but i think they have problems digesting it at a small size keep him on blood worm until 7inch and feed mainly at night and he should be fat by morning

you will love it you saw a large one today they are a proper fish
