Originally I got two 1 1/2" Brokopondo about two months ago as seen in the 1st pic below. They were wild caught and really skinny when I picked them up from my supplier. Even though I was concerned and worried about the heath of these little guy's I opted to take them anyway. Once I got them home and into a grow out tank I noticed one of them had a small deformed pectoral fin and was having issues swimming straight. Long story short that one didn't make it.. But the other, although skinny and didn't eat well in the beginning ended up thriving and I wanted to share his progress below. He has turned into one heck of a beautiful PBass!!

I'm interested in others Brokopondo's and what they look like!! Please post a pic of yours!!



Night I brought them home!!

awesome! glad to see your fish. I think I might be getting a broko, too :D
 
Looks good man...
 
**Update**

My Broko is doing well, having seen a whole lot of growth lately but he's hanging right around 10" now. One of my coolest PB though. All the photos I take are with my smart phone and not the best so don't do my fish justice. I’m hoping to get a good camera soon to post some killer photos of these guys.
