So I spotted a group of these at a LFS, at 2" I can't believe his colour!
Well at least around here (south east UK) it's hard to find GT showing any colour below 5-6" even being hard to sex, this guy looks 100% male already.
After losing my big male a few years back I haven't considered another until now, he was a steal to at £5...
Excited to get him up to size for the 300g:-)
Sorry the tank does need an algae scrub.

Lol, I will update here regularly.

And yeah, that's what I thought, gonna be a looker this boy;-)
 
He is a cutie for sure! Congrats!

I feel like I hit the lotto when I found my boy last year. He was showing color like this early on too. I can’t wait to see grow out pics on your guy:)
