baby black aro

[jp80911]

Picked up this little black aro a little more than 2 weeks ago (May 17th) after the death of my first baby black aro. it's eating great, already got longer than thicker compare to when I first got it (unfortunately didn't take any pics )
wasn't willing to eat when I first got it, took almost a week before it start eating, I was worried and how it attacks FD bloodworm like there's no tomorrow.
Some of the yellow strip is turning black, I'm assuming soon all the yellow will fade away, what a shame that they don't get to keep the color as they grow.

Cool picts. What size tank do you have him in?

I have it in a 10g now, if I release it in my 180g now it'll disappear via my overflow into my sump

Yea thats smart. I was seeing that tube in the pictures and it looks like he is in a 2 gallon fish bowl lolol

Nice, I just lost 4 out of my five the past few weeks the one I have left was the bully of the bunch and since I didn’t have any other tank I could have put them in he slowly killed them off but he’s definitely growing and loosing his yellow to, I cant wait till he gets big enough for my big tank.

Nice, did you get this one from the same guy as the last one you had.

 

[jp80911]

yea, same guy same price.
was thinking maybe should get few more but not sure when I'll be able to get a bigger tank and don't want any aggression between them so ended up with just one. my 180g should buy me couple years.
