Couple of new pics. The damage to the grey is already healing. Both are eating like pigs, just loving the veggies. So far there have been no real aggression issues from either one. Question, the grey is supposedly at least a year old, kept in a 120 and well fed. It's about 6-7 inches, shouldn't it be bigger?

Yeah GG's are fast healiers.

I just can't believe Florida allows GG to be sold there, especially the way people turn things loose when they get too big for them to handle. Though I would love to hook into of them some day, on lite tackle.

Impressive, with the problems master Tequila has it might be the way forward

Looking better, glad things are healing

For obvious reasons in your case

Thailand is the place for that, huge ponds with everything you can imagine on a rod and line

hey guys

i kept the rtgg separate bcoz the male use to picks on the female and the paroon shark. and when this happens the female jst stays in the corner. i thought i giv the female some more room to grow without the stress. then maybe when they r bigger ill keep them together but for now they r in separatd

but refering to my pic of the rtggg pair..Do u guys see the characteristics on male and female? more color? different head shape?
