Had this guy for a while now, and he's finally starting to get some color on him, and his streamers are just starting to develop. Can't wait to see this guy in another couple months. Tried for about an hour to get the light to hit him just right so you could see his colors, this is the best I could do. Wish I had better lighting on the head area. Oh well, till next time!

nice dude! If only we could make fish like these and Rams grow to say...14 inches, that would be ideal!

Not sure on his age, but I got him from a LFS about 2 months ago I'd say.

Thanks! Yeah that would be such a nice fish at that size!
