Great looking examples of some amazing fish. Where'd you pick these up?

Great looking catemacos, JD. I regretted selling the breeding pair I had a couple of years ago and recently picked up a new pair from TUIC. They've got a little growing to do to reach the size of yours, but I'm glad that I have them in my fish room again.

The huge male in the bottom pic came from DCT 14 years ago. The younger divided breeding pair came from COA 14 months or so ago.

Wow, the coloration on those guys is incredible - especially the last one!

Thank you for sharing!

Wow! I didn't know that the males can develop a hump on their head?

That big guy has to be pushing 17 years old at this point. That's a side view of a 220g tank. He's over 15" and has to weigh 4lbs or more. He's starting to not eat as well so I don't expect I will have him much longer. That's going to be a sad day.
