Now eating several small meals of pellets a day. Becoming very interested in passers by.....cant wait to start shooting with flash once he's settled in a bit

Do the Rio Tulija naturally have a darker color to them or is he just not settled in all the way yet?
I know they have a lot of the black freckling throughout the body compared to other strains (including one I've kept).
Here is my old male (guess) of a different unknown strain:
Here is a big Rio Tulija male Gage sold a while ago:
probably a bit of both, and additionally this tank is very dimly lit right now. I have a single 48" tube on the very far back side of the tank only covering the left hand side. The right hand side really has almost no light on it at all.
Once he really settles in and doesn't mind a lot of movement around the tank, I'll up the lighting and try some flash shots. All in all though they seem to have a lot more freckling which makes them a good bit darker and he has a lot of gold.
He's eating really well now, throwing back Xtreme big fella like popcorn. Really looking forward to getting him in the big tank now that he's eating.......patience
Thanks. It's gonna be real hard waiting it out, but he's become quite the little socialite. As long as you don't wear a white shirt(go figure) and move slow, he pretty much hangs out all the time. He's putting on some nice weight and his color is getting more intense. He's settling in nicely....
I agree with the others, the darker coloration gives it a very nice look. He should look amazing in a few months.
