These guys are in a 180 Gallon tank. Red is starting to get some decent color. He is a very slow grower. Often starves himself. Loaches are about 6.5" and ff is about 7". Enjoy and feel free to let me know what potential you think this aro has.

Very little red. About 11" when I got him.

He was eating only hikari pellets but my tank was a mess as he wouldn't eat most of the pellets. He just chewed on them and spit most of the pellet out. It made my clown loaches really fat but my super red wasn't growing. Now I'm feeding super worms gut loaded with carrots, kale, and NLS pellets and wafers. He is eating like crazy and has packed on a lot of weight in a short period of time.
Nice fish ^^ mine SR also refuses to eat hikari floating (unless starve for really long time and even then will eat several very quickly while chewing up and spitting out the rest). Wow, my red is also crazy about superworms but i am too lazy to gutload and he gets really addicted. i feed my fishie market prawns ...<sigh> ... he learned to peel the shrimp - very annoying ^^ (so i peel them myself first)
PS: mine is not that red ... more orangy

Looks like it has a green base colour. I love SR with a green base. He should be a stunner in a couple of years.
