he's about 11½" long now and is my precious baby :D
 
Wow that's really cool. I've always wanted one of those but I heard they were such finicky eaters. Judging by yours that's not really the case. That is a great size, I never see them available very big... Are they slow growers? Great fish you got there.
 
Thankyou DD :) Most BGK's arn't finicky about food and will eat anything. Mine doesn't seem bothered about flake but I don't care as i dont want him eating it anyway, especially the size he is.
I bought him when he was about 8" and nearly 12" now. Many of my LFS's sell them about 3" long but it was a special order.
Growth rate depends on the size of tank and also how much/often you feed them. I don't feed mine everyday like some people do. Normally feed every 2-3 days depending on what i give them :) Alot of the time he might only skip 4-5 days a month, just depends on the foods but i have no set regeim :)
Glad you liked the video :)
 
Sweet knife. Mine is as much a pig but is not as outgoing.
