I finally have a couple pictures of Snickers my little chocolate. I got him about 6-8 weeks ago. He is a wild caught from Peru and he is about 3.5 pushing 4 inches... I think. I'm bad at guessing measurements. Eats like he/she is always starving. Quite a character already. He/she is very interactive and is almost eating from my hand.
Tahoe, do you have any updated pics of your chocolate? There are a couple at my lfs that have been there a while that look exactly like the one you have. Just curious as to how yours is maturing. Thinking I might pick one or both of them up if they are still there this weekend.
this was the male i had a few years back,wish i had room to try a pair,what are some of you keeping the pairs in for tank size? i am guessing 100+ gallons?
Here is my little new guy, very mellow keeps to himself and doesn't piss anyone off.
heres my big guy I had about 5 years ago, he is used on some sites profile sections as the picture (sorry for quality i think its like 2mp camera)

I'm so GLAD that someone has inquired about Snickers. S/he is awesome. Growing fast and a fun fish to have. S/he eats out of my hand and is very front and center. Snickers is 5 inches now and I got him in September at about 2.5 inches. I'm thinking it is a he and if anyone has comments on sex... of this fish... I would love to hear about it. I'm thinking he because of his bulk but I dunno.
Beautiful fish that everyone posted. Chunk was amazing. I'm very happy to have this fish.
so...these are weak photos. My LED aquarium light went out so the overhead is crap. These are not really capturing the fish's color well. He changes a lot but greens and roses dominate.
Looking forward to watching him/her grow.
