Heres a couple of bad pix cos hes down the other end of the 6' and thats obstructed by a cupboard and another tank and it makes it difficult to photograph. He seems happy and behaving so far and spends a lot of time with my Pim ornatus.

As i usally do when i get a new more predatory/oddball fish i spend the 1st few days worrying if i'll get them feeding/are they happy etc... and he didnt eat much yesterdat but today completly wolfing down bloodworm and frozen food lol. Getting this guys has reminded me how fun they are and never had one of this size either 
I'd just love to get some half decent pix of him though.

One of the nicest freshwater fish in the world. Wish they stayed small! Like most things, puppies, kittens etc...

Yeah, they're cute, but it's something awesome to see an adult happily swimming around looking like a smiling innocent beast... until it yawns.
Pretty RTC! My favorite wet pet too. If only I had the space.......
What are your plans for him when he puts on some size?

Just a little advice.... An RTC will try to eat anything it can fit in its mouth, including the rocks you have as substrate. Keep an eye on him, if he starts eating the pebbles get them out before it causes him to puke or even worse!
