Here this guys is. He is approx 4.5inches now. Just pulled him from the growout 125 for solo nurturing. Not sure the type he is. I picked him because i thought he would make a good addition to my small freemarking collection. Only had this guy for about 4months now maybe 5. Got him when he was 1inch from petland...
Comments +/- welcome always.

Mmmm I need to start a free marking collection. That guy's built like a tank for sure! He's no trimac lol I love his pearls, they're really irridescent lookin. What are you feedin this guy? His base color seems a bit dark, maybe because of the black gravel?

thanx for the comments.
i feed this guy a mix of foods from kensfish.com. :D
yeah darker cause stressed i imagine. recently moved him into a solo tank, and haven't found a light for him yet. give me a couple months to work with him and i'll take more pictures. :)

he looks good. and mean. i hope he doesn't bite when you clean the tank. his mouth looks like it would hurt. i have been lucky in that the only fish that attacks me is my 8 inch bp. he can't bite so it is just funny.
