first sysnpilum

[midasman714]

You have a good pick of your first syns which shows great color. How big is yours?

Not two syns look the same as they have so much variation in color, shade and pattern. Mine is 11 inch, not as intensely red as yours, and remains shy. Except for feeding time, he likes to stay motionless facing the back corner of the tank. When he was a juvenile, he was so skittish that he wound jump up if I approached the tank too quickly.

he's around 6" (eyeballing).

He's skittish at times, I would have to approach the tank cautiously. Although he does show aggression when I put my finger on the tank, gills flare and color gets brighter.

Not an update, just some cool pictures I took as I introduced him to a mirror. He's a total Jekyll and Hyde and just goes nuts w/ his reflection. I know that's pretty common but with this shy and skittish guy, you wouldn't think so.

The funny thing is, now he keeps on going back to where the mirror was, seemingly hoping to see his reflection again.

He is just beautiful. Very nice fish, he will come out of his shell soon I bet.
