Thanks everyone, I appreciate all of the compliments. Currently he is around 13" or so. I haven't had him out of the tank so I don't have any accurate measurements. He is currently my largest fish.
Great pics, and very good idea to post all those pics at different times of his life
I own 7 Black Belt. I actualy have a pair with eggs. They won't be able to keep them alive because they are in an aquarium with some Parachromis Motaguensis. But I will start a new 180 gallons tank this thursday so they will have their own aquarium ready for their next spawn in 6 weeks or so.
Get's chased some, chases some. Overall just kind of goes with the flow in my tank. Everyone in there has to be able to hold their own or they are going to be stuck hiding under a rock all day.
