Getting My Groove Back...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Gorgeous ancient beasts!
 
Here’s the “PBB”. Dorsal finlet count is 12-13 so signs point elsewhere, but something makes me think this is something special. It came from Toyin as a PBB when he got those little ones in last year. He was very slow to “find his oats” in my tank and is finally eating like a champ. He’s always been very light base, but is definitely one to watch in the future.

I’m trying bro! Still have a lot more collecting to do, but I’m due time. A tank upgrade is happening soon, so stay tuned for that.

Yup. The plan is in its infancy and probably a couple months out, but it will be my Mona Lisa. Nice acrylic tank, big K1 sump, 24/7 drip, in-line growout tank plumbed into the same system, etc etc.

Intresting that the dorsal fin only have 12-13 count, i remember a member here that also bought a pbb with the same dorsal fin count.

Agreed. I don’t believe dorsal fin count is the be-all end-all in the PBB discussion. Having had my fair share of PBB come through my tanks, they have an a certain look and shape to them that you can’t readily articulate into words. The jury is still out on this particular piece, but I trust the chain that led him here. I guess we’ll see what clean water and good food does over time.
 
In other news, this Koliba is an absolute dream to own. Some bichers just have that monster gene. You know what I’m talking about: they eat right out of the bag, never skip a meal, and are bottomless pits come feeding time. That’s this guy, verbatim. He will eat until he’s more round than long LOL. I fully anticipate this guy to crest the 18” mark before the year is up.
