hi all, anyone who read my tank burst thread will already know i aquired an irwini with the new tank, the owners didnt even know what it was! heres a few pics, he is about 8-9 inch.
got some nice colours i think considering the tank was yellow, overstocked, and all had finrot!

Looks great Justin! How did the wykii react when you introduced the irwini?
 
very different colouration? mine is an irwini right? on pcf theres a pic of one coloured like mine saying brazil collection point!? guessing its still changing to adult colouration?
 
cheers people, this ones a keeper@-) yeah he has been fine, they were even laying together earlier, maybe he thinks he is a spikey piece of wood lol...
 
lol, does he hide allot?
I had a 10" monster that I would never see. I got him at that size at my lfs, they gave him to me for $10 since they had no idea what he was. He never ate a thing and never came out.
 
yep cant see him atm but was out and about after todays waterchange, thats when i grabbed the pics.
