Well, my ten incher started to spangle at around six inches.I previously had one from TUC over a year ago that also started to spangle at around six inches.I do have another kel that is about six inches currently and it has yet to show any spotting so far so it depends on the fish.Omega007;4147002; said:I thought Kelberi don't spangle until 9 or 10 inch? Just eyeballing they look small.
