might get one that grows faster in which case you should go for that one lol[/QUO

one is seeming to be the better feeder and grower already . and seems to be more relaxed and calmer also . really seems to look right at me like hes trying to figure me out lol

little update on these guys . there doing great , one of them is a real nice darker copper kind of color . pics dont really do them justice . there around 8 inches i think . and sharing there tanks with some sun fish . and a couple un eatin crawfish

Looking good, you should experiment and see what raising one alone is like compared to in a community, I hear single specimens grow a lot faster

i had noticed after i added the other fish for a while they seemed to hide a bit more , but seems they are getting over that now . the sun fish are kinda fun to watch too there always swimming around .

got a couple more pics today this coppery colored one seems more aggressive the other one will flare its gills at me two but this little guy is mean lol .

I really like the copper tone one! Very nice.

He's got some nice hues now that we see him in the open lol. And maybe reported slower growth rates are because they become more timid.
