I might have exagerated his growth. I bought him on July 12, 2008 and measured him at about 5.5-5.75". He's grown about an inch or so in 7 weeks.

And here he is now. His hump has gotten more pronounced since being in with the big boys. You can't see the blue coloration all over his body from flash washout but he's not white as he appears.

lol thanks man. I have a female but I've separated her from him because they started to pair up. I'm not ready for that yet. I can't have them killing the other fish and secondly I want them to grow some more first.

The first 2 pics are the second day in the tank, they were picking at each other a lot. The second 2 are a week later. Now they were making too good of friends and teaming up to defend their little area. That's when I took her out.

The MFK bot must have mixed up the pics. The middle ones are obviously the second day in the tank pics. The first and last are a week later.
