Crazyfish, here are a couple pics as your requested of my Weeksii, got the fish back in 2009 from Canadian Aquatics at around 9". Grew pretty quick up to 19" and then pretty slow from there up the 21+ range. It is hard to get a full shot of him against the tape as for whatever reason, the Ornate seems to think that is his territory. I included a pic with him next to an almost 11" Delhezi to put into context the actual girth of the fish against a poly that most can relate to.
When he was younger on dark gravel, he had allot of green/yellow. On the lighter sand he is quite faded but I really like the grain size and will keep it until I can find the right dark mix locally.

You see why I am so enamoured with yours over the dark bars and contrast, mine is somewhat plain. Yours is absolutly striking.

Here is the pic with the tape, One of these days I will drop a tape into the tank and try and get a better measurement. Estimate just under 22" (for awhile I thought he would pass my old Ornate but the Ornate had a growth spurt last year)

Here is the pic against the almost 11" Del. The del is actually quite plump, not that it shows.

wow nice
 
Awesome! Hope my Weeksii get near this Weeksii's length.
 
What size did you originally get the weeksii at? Such an awesome monster bichir, setting the standard.
