Diplogramma Pics update

[jelly]

Wow...how big do they get at max size?

Thanks. It was originally thought to be the same size as Micropeltes but my theory based on the fact that it changes to adult colouration at a much smaller size than a Micro is that will probably max at about 20" to 24", Only time will tell though.

I want one so badly!
Great pic's by the way, my micro is around 12" now and I'll see if i can get a pic for comparison.
They do look completely different though.

If you can get one. Would be great to get some 12" micro pics on this thread. If you can try and get simalar positions.

Thanks

great pics mate , nicley shows the head profile diferance , diplo is much more pointed and slopes from further back , colour is also very diferant from micro , esp seen on the close-up shots .

cheers col

Thanks Col.

The differences are clear with these photo's, It would be great to get a simalar positioned shots of a 11"-12" micro on the same thread for a direct comparason.

Cheers Steve

Thanks Nelly. I know you are relatively new to the Snakehead sceane, Be careful It can be addictive.

How big do diplo grows? Do they have the "great white shark" attitude as the red snakehead?
