Aww he's getting so big lol

[Cross127]

Here's my 2 year old male con. Boy has he gone through some rough time these past years. Getting almost swallowed whole by a 7 Mota when he was a wee little squirt being tortured by a 5 inch female FM and a 6 inch salvini that always bashed him but times have changed since he got a little bigger. Here's my pride and joy against a measuring tape when I moved his tank. He's about 5 inches from head to tail.

WOWOWOW that is NICE

nice, that's about the size of my two bigger males. somebody on here told me to never count tail when measuring fish. so anytime you've seen me give a measurement for a fish, just know its a bit skewed.

I count the tail because it is apart of the fish. Some think differently that the body is the length.
