He looks big. Do you have him alone? I have a little guy just got about a month ago and he kills everything...What are good tankmates? Beautiful though!

Thanks for the comments everyone:)

He is between 6 and 7 inches. He is housed alone in a 55 and will be going into a 75 or 90 sometime in the near future.

Here are some progression pics:

12/29/08 when I first got him:



And then 1/26/09:



And, once again, today:




As you can see, he is growing and changing pretty fast.

When did you put the black background? It looks like it brought out better colors in him....which is the oppisite of what black is supposed to do
I think I put it on in mid Jan. Like you, I have read many times that black background is horrible for FH color, but it seems to work pretty well with my guy since his colors are so light.
