Thanks. The tarpon has turned into a really amazing looking fish. He is over 3 years old and really thriving. Growth rate has been fairly slow but comes in spurts. When I moved him into his current tank last summer he was at least 13" and very strong/muscular. Now he is at least around the 16" mark or so, but much thicker and filled out. The p14 and cheerio leopoldi are both quite large and he makes them look small when he swoops down to grab some food.
A few years ago I had him with my first big GATF who decided to try an amputate the tarpons whole tail. A lot of TLC and isolation and he managed to make a full recovery. He is not the brightest fish but he fits with the arowana/rays well. I'll always have a soft spot for him after nursing him back to health and seeing him make such a great recovery.
