That's the spirit, positive mental attitude!!
 
Opened the lid today for feeding and George had another random tantrum resulting in a slight gash on his side:irked:
 
Back to normal today, merrily chasing his main rival in the tank, 'the dollar' although I think he's getting a bit bored with it all. He chases it the same way, the dollar evades George in the same = parity. I think they are finally getting along.

At last and end to the growth spurt......

Nah its just that I have been in and out of the "Pet Trade" since I quit the retail end of it allback in 1980. I don't know how things are in your neck of the world, but here in the USA, retail shops wanna turn over there stock as fast as they can to make as much as they can. And when items especially live stock sits around taking up space, eating up dry goods, and could drop dead do to any number of reasons, shops especially retail shops wanna get rid of it ASAP. Some just keep a tank or too with monsters in it too attrack attention, but most would rather just move them out ASAP!, even if they gotta cut the price, or in some rare cases give them away.

There are a few shops close by that like keeping monster fish, I know of two such shops that at present have 25-30 inch EEGG in stock at present. But they are more like pets than sale items, or there just out right killers and they cant move them because of that so they keep them.

Teq, hope you don't but I've quoted you here to saved going off topic in the aggression thread.

Like I've said before George came from one of larger stockists anywhere around here and they'd had him for 3-4 months before we came a long. They was a bit staff interest over over the purchase as he'd been there along time but this is not the norm over here. It's one of the few places where you can land yourself a arowana that I know of and it's bit of pain to to travel to but they do stock a lot of the rarer and monsters to be.

Most aquatic dealers over her are either be small high street shops with your usual selection of tetras etc. or tagged on to the back of a garden centres which tend to stock much of the same.
There is a garden centre with one on the back about 30 mins from here which has a much wider variety of tropical /marine and discus(hence why we go there). It rarely stocks anything too exotic. There is another one that's on an industrial estate not too far where you could find the odd monster too be but I'd pay through the roof for it as they are anything but cheap.

I'd love to see a picture of that 25-30' EEGG :drool:

Mighty O,

Were both shots taken with the same lighting conditions as the second shot looks a lot darker?

Very nice red tail you've got there and Herman suits him perfectly
 
the second shat was taken with a flash on the same settings, he wasn't THAT washed out, but his tail color was nothing like it is now.
 
What brand of pellets are you feeding Mighty?
