Wow, that last pic is stunning. Funny how yours has all that red in the fins and mine is almost exclusively copper/yellow there. Must be the difference in locale, but still interesting to see.

Really nice Trimapit. I could see those big teeth already.

Some closer up shots showing the patterning on his fins. I guess there is a little red on the fringes, but they're definitely a strong mustard color otherwise. His throat/gill area is showing a little more color recently as well, hopefully adding in a few more food choices will help bring it out soon.
