Took some shots of my Midas today after a waterchange.
He loves to redecorate afterwards so I tried to get some shots of him spitting gravel.
I measured him while the water was low and he's finally at 12".
He's lost some orange markings, but I think the white makes him look more wise.
He's grown about an inch possibly since the last time I posted here.
His fins are also longer and he's thickened up and a lot more feisty.
Time to move him to my 125, as I'd like to watch him grow more... and give him the space he deserves!
First I need to find homes for the 20 juveniles inhabitting it though. :irked:
I tried to get a few shots of him spitting gravel... this was very hard since the flash is delayed.

Here is the best spit shot I got of him.

This one was okay, but a little late.

Here he's chasing his platy friend, also good for size comparison. The platys are about 1-1.5".

I liked this one since it looked dark like a lake.

Another late spit shot, but it turned out good to see his jaw structure.

Good lookin' fish! :popcorn:
 
Thanks everyone. :grinno:
It's a 60 gallon, but same difference.
I'm gonna try and get an updated video of him soon, they just take long to upload.
The platys were used to cycle the tank, they've been in there longer than him.
The background is algae, the tank sits infront of a window, but the blinds are always down.
It somehow grows only on that side? :screwy:
Mad, His face has gotten flatter with age as he grew taller.
I can tell yours has too since he was a young adult.
You guys got real nice Midas too by the way.
Please show pics of yours as I do not have much time to check for Midas posts.
